Gender Identity Conflicts in Adolescents as Motivation for Suicide.

Cohen, Yecheskel

Adolescence, v26 n101 p19-29 Spr 1991

Proposes that difficulties in the formation of cohesive gender identity are related to the adolescent's motivation to attempt suicide. Uses Fast's (1984) distinction between "event-centered" and "self-centered" experiences to explore problems in formation of gender identity with reference to regression to earlier stages of psychosexual development.
