Abstract

This study is a qualitative analysis of 15 patients all of whom had been treated in "die Arche", an outpatient suicide prevention unit. All fifteen of which committed suicide. Eight of the subjects committed suicide after finishing treatment; seven during the course of treatment itself. Those suicides committed during treatment were analysed first by a team of therapists employing action research methods; and secondly using a qualitative methodology based on "ideal types". Three "ideal-types" were differentiated as follows: an anxious yet calm countertransference within the treatment dyad; a destructive dynamic to be found in the counselling of the client's relatives, and suppressed irritation in the countertransference through lack of capacity. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
