          Abstract

          The aim of this study was to understand, from the perspective of behavioral analysis, the possible antecedents and consequences of a suicide attempt for the individual responsible, using reports from patients that were hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, due to their suicide attempts. Three patients that attempted suicide in 2010 took part in this study. Semi-structured interviews were performed, which included questions about the attempt, its antecedents and consequences, and the life history of the patient. Functional analysis showed the presence of risk factors for suicide, as well as reinforcing consequences for the individuals, such as social care only being available after the attempts.

          O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender, sob a ótica analítico-comportamental, os possíveis desencadeantes e as consequências para o próprio indivíduo de suas tentativas de suicídio, a partir dos relatos de pacientes que foram internados em um hospital psiquiátrico de Curitiba, Paraná, em decorrência da tentativa. Participaram deste estudo três pacientes que fizeram tentativa de suicídio em 2010. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, contendo questões acerca da tentativa, assim como de seus antecedentes e consequentes, além de dados sobre a história de vida a partir da análise funcional. Evidenciou-se a presença de fatores de risco para o suicídio, além de consequências reforçadoras para os indivíduos, como a atenção social, disponibilizada apenas após a realização das tentativas.

              Beyond the Tower of Babel: a nomenclature for suicidology.

              Suicidology finds itself confused and stagnated for lack of a standard nomenclature. This paper proposes a nomenclature for suicide-related behavior in the hope of improving the clarity and precision of communications, advancing suicidological research and knowledge, and improving the efficacy of clinical interventions.
