Abstract

Within a population of former mental patients, those who were suicidal at the time of last admission to a mental hospital were compared with those who were assaultive on a variety of social and personality variables. Some of the independent variables were the characteristics of the relatives of patients. Support was found for the hypothesis that normative orientation would differentiate suicidal and assaultive patients.
