Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Clinical Psychology
Mental Health Research

Background:

Suicidal behavior is a significant concern in mental health settings.
The
dependent-dissatisfied
personality type has been theorized to relate to suicidal ideation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the presence of suicidal behavior in a mental health clinic and psychiatric emergency room.
To examine the relationship between suicidal behavior and the
dependent-dissatisfied
personality profile.

Main Methods:

Utilized a suicidal potential scale to differentiate risk levels.
Employed projective figure drawings for assessment.

Related Experiment Videos

Conducted brief interviews regarding past and present suicidal behavior.

Main Results:

The suicidal potential scale effectively distinguished between high and low-risk groups.
Individuals in the high suicidal group reported significantly greater dissatisfaction with current and past treatment.
A significant correlation was found between the
dependent-dissatisfied
personality traits and higher suicidal potential.

Conclusions:

The findings suggest that the
dependent-dissatisfied
personality may be a relevant indicator for suicidal risk assessment.
Implications for the evaluation and therapeutic interventions for suicidal patients are discussed.
Enhanced understanding of personality factors can inform clinical practice in managing suicidal behavior.
