TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Environmental and personality similarities in case histories of suicide and self-poisoning by children under ten JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Haizlip, T. M. A1 - Corder, B. F. SP - 59 EP - 66 VL - 14 IS - 1 N2 - Research on suicide in latency age children is reviewed and case histories of two 9-year-old children who suicided by shooting themselves and one 7-year-old who died by self-poisoning are presented. Similarities in environmental and family histories, and in personality variables among these three cases have suggested underlying mechanisms in development and maintenance of symbiotically shared self-concept between parent and child which may be useful in helping to identify similar cases and in assessing potential for suicidal and self-destructive behavior in latency age children.
