Abstract

Anamnestic and psychiatric data are analyzed for attempted, threatened, and completed suicide cases. "The conclusion may be drawn that the dangerous patient, suicidally speaking, is the one with a history of previous suicidal attempts or threats, and that the most dangerous period is when the patient appears to have recovered."
