Investigated 91 consecutive cases of attempted suicide in Aberdeen, Scotland, in order to determine the patients' feelings and intentions at the time of the attempt. Females (22 teen-agers) outnumbered males by a ratio of 2.4: 1. 89 patients had taken overdoses. Men appeared to think about suicide longer and dwell more on the past than women. Only 46.2% admitted to wanting to die at the time of attempt. Few patients checked retaliation as a motive. The issue of the significance of the attempt and the difficulty of determining the extent to which the patient truly wants to die is discussed.(21 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
