22040 1975 hrv article 0 -- -- -- Suicide rates in Yugoslavia of 12.4 in 1964 and 13.9 in 1969 are reported, with variations of 2.3 to 29.7 in different parts of the country. Stengal's view of committed and attempted suicide is critically examined as well as theories of Freud, K. Lorenz, and E. FROMM on aggression and destructiveness. Data are presented on 4,000 psychiatric patients, 625 with presuicidal syndrome, 226 of whom had attempted suicide before admission. Four out of 4,000 patients committed suicide. A liberal regime in psychiatric institutions is suggested as a means of preventing suicide by patients. In cases of severe depression ECT is needed.
