Objective: To compare the characteristics of recalled parent-child relationships in suicide attempters vs. non-attempters Methods: A total of 509 patients - 249 presenting with pain at a psychosomatic clinic and 260 from the offices of general practitioners - were interviewed retrospectively about s...

description Objective: To compare the characteristics of recalled parent-child relationships in suicide attempters vs. non-attempters Methods: A total of 509 patients - 249 presenting with pain at a psychosomatic clinic and 260 from the offices of general practitioners - were interviewed retrospectively about suicide attempts and parent-child relationships. Results: The overall rate of those reporting a suicide attempt was 17%. Bivariate analyses showed associations of poor parent-child relationships with suicide attempts throughout. In a multivariate analysis, the combinations high maternal control*low perceived love (p<.001) and high control*high role reversal (p=.002) were associated with particularly elevated risks for suicide attempts. Conclusion: Beside the two most extensively explored dimensions of parent-child relationships, parental affection and control, one other dimension, role reversal, also contributes strongly to risk for offspring suicide attempts and should be considered in future studies. Fragestellung: Unterscheiden sich die retrospektiven Berichte der Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen von Personen, die mindestens einen Suizidversuch im Leben unternahmen von solchen Personen, die keinen Suizidversuch unternahmen. Methode: Insgesamt 509 Patienten, davon 249 aus einer psychosomatischen Klinik und 260 aus Hausarztpraxen, wurden retrospektiv zu Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen und zu Suizidversuchen befragt. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt zeigt sich eine Rate von 17% an berichteten Suizidversuchen. Bivariate Analysen zeigen fast durchweg schlechtere Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen bei Personen, die einen Suizidversuch unternahmen. Eine multivariate Analyse weist zwei Interaktionen als besondere Risiko-Faktoren für Suizidversuche aus: hohe mütterliche Kontrolle kombiniert mit wenig mütterlicher Liebe und hohe mütterliche Rollenumkehr kombiniert mit wenig mütterlicher Liebe. Schlussfolgerung: Kontrolle und Liebe stellen die zwei am häufigsten untersuchten Dimensionen elterlichen Erziehungsverhaltens dar. Sie zeigen in ihrer Interaktion ...
