摘要 对 236 名自杀未遂者的样本进行了聚类分析程序进行分类。评级变量涉及之前的自杀行为、最近自杀尝试的细节及其动机、精神状态和人口特征。结果表明存在三组尝试者。第一组包括服药过量的患者，总体上显示生命风险较小，精神障碍较少，并且有更多的人际动机而不是自我毁灭动机的证据。第二组人数较少，但他们以更多的自我毁灭动机进行了更严厉的尝试，通过暴力方法而不是过量服用药物。第三组也是最小的一组，之前有过多次尝试和手势的历史，做出了相对温和的尝试，并且表现出明显的敌意，在治疗精神科医生中引起了相互的敌意。这些群体与其他研究中发现的群体有一些相似之处。
Summary Cluster analytic procedures for classification were carried out on a sample of 236 suicide attempters. Rating variables concerned previous suicidal behaviour, details of the recent attempt and its motivation, mental state, and demographic characteristics. Results suggested the existence of three groups of attempters. The first comprised patients taking overdoses, on the whole showing less risk to life, less psychiatric disturbance, and more evidence of interpersonal rather than self-destructive motivation. The second group, fewer in number, made more severe attempts with more self-destructive motivation, by violent methods rather than overdose. The third and smallest group had a previous history of many attempts and gestures, made relatively mild attempts and were overtly hostile, engendering reciprocal hostility in the treating psychiatrist. These groups show some resemblance to those found in other studies.
