Abstract

This article handles statistical data of a sample of 214 attempted suicides who arrived at the emergency ward of the Sint Luc Hospital in Brussels. In most cases they were situations of crisis among couples and families where speaking is more dangerous than acting. The therapeutist must investigate these risks of the language before going further in the taking over of the patient. These situations of crisis need short therapeutic care and seldom an admission in psychiatric hospital. Priority is given here to the very few cases of a really serious psychiatric disease able to bring a fatal recurrence
