[Suicide risk in view of psychological test results].
The medical case histories of 32 young suicides have been studied the majority of whom has been in contact over the last two years with the East Swiss Infantile and Juvenile Psychiatric Clinic. In evaluating the case, we have relied first and foremost on the interpretation of psychological tests. The question as to whether juvenile suicides differ in any way from juveniles who have merely attempted to kill themselves can be summed up as follows: juveniles who have succeeded in suiciding point clearly and directly to suicide in their tests unlike juveniles who have not succeeded. With these the potential danger must be sought elsewhere, namely in their psychic make-up. We are at present examining the typical features of the tests carried out with suicides and potential suicides.
