Zusammenfassung

Während psychiatrische Hospitalisierung in Deutschland bei Suizidalität üblich ist, wird dies in Großbritannien eher selten angewandt. Legt man Prinzipien der Evidence-based Medicine zugrunde, lassen sich keine Belege finden, dass Hospitalisierung bei Suizidalität oder nach Parasuiziden von Nutzen ist. Es gibt allerdings Hinweise, dass konsiliarpsychiatrische psychosoziale Untersuchungen sowie einige psychotherapeutische Maßnahmen Erfolg bei der Parasuizidbehandlung versprechen können.

Abstract

Whilst in Germany hospitalisation is normal treatment for patients with suicidal ideation, this is rather uncommon in Great Britain. Applying evidence-based medicine there is no evidence to suggest that hospitalisation after parasuicides is a useful treatment. There is, however, growing evidence for the efficacy of psychosocial assessment and certain psychotherapeutic interventions post parasuicide.
