title: Suicidal and nonsuicidal coping methods of adolescents.
abstract: The authors investigated the coping methods used by adolescents hospitalized for suicidal behaviors and adolescents hospitalized for nonsuicidal behaviors. The authors' purpose was to determine if a significant difference between the two groups existed. The findings suggested that adolescents with suicidal thoughts and behaviors use affective-oriented coping methods to a more significant degree than they use problem-solving strategies. The nonsuicidal group was found to use both affective and problem-oriented coping methods.
