abstract="The study reports on 76 cases of crisis intervention concerning 49 adolescent patients within a period of 3.5 years. The case files were evaluated retrospectively. The crises were closely associated with intrafamiliar conflicts. Three types of familiar problems were identified. 54% of all crisis interventions followed an attempted suicide or suicidal threats. In a group excluding the mentally ill patients the incidence of suicide was even higher. Only mentally ill crisis patients were admitted for crisis intervention more than once. These patients had usually been in previous outpatient or inpatient treatment at the same hospital. The duration of inpatient crisis intervention exceeded the limit of two weeks only in psychiatrically ill patients. All suicidal patients were discharged after only a few days. The average length of stay was 4 days. In contrast to other adolescent inpatient populations there was a notable higher proportion of girls not only among the suicidal patients.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
