The psychosocial climate of families with suicidal pre-adolescent children.
A structured interview measure of suicidal behavior and a questionnaire measure of family psychosocial climate were administered to 43 pre-adolescent psychiatric inpatients and their parents. Results showed that suicidal behavior tended to be associated with greater family conflict and with less family organization, cohesion, and achievement orientation.
