Assessing abuse in female suicide survivors
Article Abstract:
The marital relationship before suicide is an important factor in the way the survivor responds to spousal suicide. If abuse occurred, this may impact the bereavement process as well as coping strategies for life after the suicide. A study of 49 female suicide survivors showed that 65.3% had experienced abuse, expecially verbal in nature. The study's finding that survivors may continue to love the suicide victim even if abuse occurred is consistent with other abuse research. More research on the psychology of suicide survivors needs to be done.
