Completed Suicide After a Suicide Attempt: A 37-Year Follow-Up Study
OBJECTIVE: Attempted suicide is the strongest known predictor of completed suicide. However, suicide risk declines over time after an attempt, and it is unclear how long the risk persists. Risk estimates are almost exclusively based on studies of less than 10 years of follow-up. METHOD: The authors followed a cohort of 100 consecutive self-poisoned patients in Helsinki in 1963, for whom forensically classified causes of death during the following…
Themes of Death and Violence in Lullabies of Different Countries
Lullabies are often divided into mourning songs describing the death or funeral of the child and threat songs which threaten the child with violence if he does not go to sleep.

A comparison is made between case histories described in The Witch Hammer (1487), and contemporary clinical cases. The church's attitude toward suicide is examined, with particular attention given to the defense mechanism of projection. Although there are elements in religion which counteract suicidal impulses, the breakdown of a strictly relig…
