Abstract

This article presents a taxonomy of factors related to suicidal behavior. Drawing from a large pool of theoretical formulations, empirical data, and clinical research, it presents several categories of factors: pathological states, phenomenological states, self-destructive processes, personality traits, chronic stressors, acute stressors, facilitators of suicide, background factors, and symptomatic behaviors. The model yields three types of suicidal behavior: the depressed-perfectionistic type, the Impulsive type, and the dlsintegrative type. Each type consists of a different cluster of interactions among the various factors. The factors within each cluster reflect a unifying theme. Some of the possible interactive dynamics are demonstrated and supported by research. The taxonomy and implied model provide an interactive perspective of the causes of suicide, open up avenues for systematic research and evaluation of risk, and suggest several distinct dynamics of suicide that can serve as a basis of psychotherapy and intervention.

  • Even healthy individuals with intact acute stress-response systems might conceive of suicidal behavior if faced with a stressor perceived as unusually intense, life-altering, or overwhelming.

    “even healthy individuals with intact acute stress-response systems might conceive of suicidal behavior if faced with a stressor perceived to be unusually intense, life-altering, or overwhelming (see Orbach 1997 for a detailed discussion of people who attempted suicide and exhibited high levels of perfectionism but no other apparent psychopathology)”

  • Reciprocal transactions among social-environmental, cognitive, and biological systems may confer unique risk for interpersonally themed stress and impulsive suicidal urges that are more common in adolescents than in suicidal adults.

    “we elucidated how reciprocal intra- and interpersonal transactions between social–environmental, cognitive, and biological systems may confer a unique risk for the types of interpersonally themed stress that most adolescents report as precipitants to suicidal behavior and the impulsive suicidal urges that are more common among adolescents than among suicidal adults (Orbach 1997)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
