Abstract

The study of suicidal behavior allows one to select the number of interrelated processes from especially verbal, world-outlook self-healing disorder up to passive suicidal behavior, including, for example, abandoning of required medicines intake. According to the point of view of risk of lethal exit of suicidal behavior, it is possible to divide the true suicide, the parasuicide, the impulsive suicide, the verbal suicide, the passive suicide and self-harmful actions. When a true suicide occurs, we have to deal with loss of meaning of life and the comprehensive suicide genesis process. It is characterized by considering the planned actions as reasonable, even though they result in death. In parasuicide, there is no loss of meaning of life, but there is the failure of adopt the situation in order to avoid self-identification loss. The individual has an ambivalent point of view with regard to the lethal exit as a result of attempt. This act is rather one of despair, a call for help, an aspiration to change the situation, so as to be rid of unpleasant, experiences and sensations painful for subject. When there is an impulsive suicide, which is more common among teenagers, most of the components of the genesis of suicide are absent, There is no loss of the meaning of life, the presuicide period is almost absent, but, in the same time, there is stress, the impossibility of implementing the internal feelings of aggression.. Individual defense mechanisms are imperfect. Suicidal affect acts as an affective-motivational factor related to depreciated needs. With verbal, world-outlook suicidal behavior we have to deal with a reducing of the value of life in relation to society, accompanied by high self-identity and personal uniqueness. In passive suicide, the vital prospect decreases, along with acceptance of the situation and reducing the understanding of the patient's self-identity. Self-harmful actions, even so, do not bear inter se the suicidal designs, their development is linked with the need to be rid of unnecessary or painful mental experiences. Parasuicide attempts were evaluated by us as a distinct individual dependence with reference to the plurality in the case of the unembodied self-identity of the individual, who retains those social behaviors, which were assimilated from childhood.
