[High-risk suicide attempts: intent and severity].
This study of 764 suicide attempts has for objective to define the factors which distinguish the "high-risk" group from other groups. The "high-risk" group is composed of people having scored more than 10 on Pierce's Intent Scale and more than 45 on the Weissman scale. Results show that the intensity and form of depressive symptomatology and some representations of death and age distinguish this group (n = 80) and that previous suicidal attempts, alcohol intake, chronic alcoholism and recent events have no statistical value.
