title: Contribution to suicide risk assessment: II. On the practice of suicide risk assessment.
abstract: A simple method for predicting new crises after parasuicide is introduced. This method makes it possible, without any previous knowledge, to filter out 50% of the risk patients, who may then receive special preventive activities. An examination of the practice of evaluating the danger of suicide shows that such judgments are based on four criteria: (1) risk groups, (2) crises and crisis progression, (3) suicidal development, and (4) the presuicidal syndrome.
