de Jong, Marjolein L.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v21 n3 p357-73 Jun 1992

Security of attachment and level of individuation from parents and peers was examined among 42 undergraduates with a history of suicidality, 42 undergraduates with depression, and 42 undergraduate controls. Suicidal students had the least security of attachment, the least degree of individuation, and the highest incidence of parental unavailability. (SLD)
