title: A psychopathological study of a group of schizophrenic patients after attempting suicide. Are there two different clinical subtypes?
abstract: Fifty-six schizophrenic patients at the moment of their suicidal attempt were compared to a control group of 60 patients. Schizophrenic suicidal attempters showed an identifiable clinical profile at the acute phase. Two main groups could be differentiated in regard to their reasons (depressive or psychotic) for attempting suicide.
