Suicide among Youth. A Review of the Literature, 1900-1967.
Seiden, Richard H.
A review of the literature concerning suicide among youth provides information on variations and trends in incidence in terms of age, sex, racial, and national factors. Theories on the etiology of suicide explore social, psychological, socioeconomic, religious, educational, and cultural factors among suicidal adolescents. Various types of treatment and methods of suicide prevention are described. Twenty four tables and 11 figures present extensive data on death rates for suicide according to age, race, sex, date, nationality, marital status, methods of death, and psychological characteristics.
