In all that I have read there is never even one mention of people using car crashes as a type of suicide attempt.
Suicide attempt by – “I will get you to kill me”
These are not primarily murders they are primarily suicide attempts.
Murder suicide
It suggests that murder suicide is really a subtype of suicide. That the decision to murder others first, comes as an after thought to the decision to kill self.
Suicide and family relationships
If you are working with a suicidal person and their family then you know that at least some members will be supportive of the suicide from their Free Child point of view.
Confronting magical thinking about suicide
The magical thinking about suicide is that it can result in a relief from one’s pain.
Post suicide fantasy
“I am not one who fears the end of life. I think when it comes it will be a relief. Can finally rest.”
Nonverbal permissions by default
Permissions can also be given in an implied way. A therapist who listens to a client and accepts a contract is covertly giving the permission to change
Depression and suicide
Depression does not cause suicide. However Transactional Analysis can provide a clear theoretical explanation of why one depressed person can be suicidal and another is not even thinking about i
Suicide and the copy cat effect
In essence homicide-suicide is seen as a subtype of suicide.
Hot potatoe as a homicidal act.
Indeed if a rescuer is doing this then they really cannot be seen as a rescuer and would need to be more correctly diagnosed as a persecutor.
The suicide homicide attempt
2. If things get too bad I will kill myself and others.
Process for bereavement in suicide of a loved one
We don’t like it but we can understand the death of a loved one by accident or illness. However the death of a loved one by suicide leaves us more puzzled.
Suicide attempt caught on video
Some fifteen years later he was executed by lethal injection. So he finally did complete the suicide attempt and he got the state to kill him.
Suicidal ambivalence and ego states
This shocking effect when a person is deeply in AC just prior to an attempt could have significant implications for suicide prevention.
The car as a suicide attempt
This would suggest the statistics on suicide are underestimated, the rates of suicide could be much higher than reported if one considers the possibility or “car suicides” instead of car accidents.
Magical thinking about death
It would seem prudent for any therapist to enquire of the pre-suicide fantasy a person may have to assess the level of magical thinking present.
Homicide as a form of suicide
These people put themselves in a position where it was highly likely they would end up killed either by their own hand or by someone else’s hand.
The psychodynamics of phobias
As a result we can see what was originally a phobia, upon closer examination is not a phobia. It is about what the person feels he can’t control or what he desires in his personality.
Deliberate suicide risk
There needs to be a change in the current legislation which allows for a category of suicidal person not to be reported in a mandatory way. If this should happen then this group of every unhappy people who are feeling very alone are not made to feel more alone but the current laws of this country.
Child suicide
My personal view is there is a solid argument for the idea that a child cannot suicide. If one uses the term ‘child suicide’ that is quite misleading as the vast majority of people will assume it to have some similarity to the adult suicide which it most definitely has not.

Closing the suicide escape hatch
The example given implies that when the urge to kill self is experienced as a directive from another then closing the suicide escape hatch is indicated. When the suicidal urge is not experienced as such a directive then closing the escape hatch may be contra indicated.
Responses to suicide
My experience with those who are close to a suicidal person finds the feeling and thinking responses to be wide and varied. By no means are they all negative as one might logically expect.
Self harm and suicide
However it is not uncommon for people to confuse the two. For instance if a mother see’s her daughter is cutting self it is understandable how she can then conclude that the daughter is suicidal. However this is not accurate.
Understanding the suicide note – Part 3
If we have two people who are potentially suicidal that special connection can be about suiciding together. Hence we end up with the suicide pact.
Understanding the suicide note – Part 2

The point here in the suicide note of Adolf Hitler is it reflects a business like approach to making a suicide attempt.
The role of magical thinking in suicide risk assessment
Obviously if one is doing a suicide risk assessment they need to assess how much A1 thinking is going on for the person and how influential it is as the executive of the personality. The more it is the higher the imminent risk of suicide.
