abstract="The article contains an analysis of underlying cognitive processes that have been found to strongly influence an individual's movement toward self-destruction. Clinical material from a discussion with several young people illustrate significant signs of suicide abuse; (3) low self-esteem-negative attitudes toward self; (4) a sense of hopelessness and despair; (5) guilt reactions and psychological pain; and (6) a progressive withdrawal from relationships and favored activities. The self-disclosures of these adolescents provide a comprehensive view of a hostile thought process or &quot;voice&quot; that is a fundamental part of self-destructive tendencies existing, to varying degrees, in every individual. A chart depicting levels of increasing suicide intent, &quot;The Continuum of Negative Thought Patterns,&quot; can be utilized to assess the suicidal potential in the individual student or patient. © 1990 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
