Résumé

Selon la théorie cognitive de Beck, le désespoir est un meilleur indicateur de l'intention suicidaire que la dépression. Une revue de la littérature concernant la présence de ces deux variables chez les patients ayant tenté de se suicider, est présentée. Quinze patients déprimés hospitalisés et 15 patients ayant fait des tentatives de suicide ont été étudiés. L’échelle de désespoir et l’échelle de dépression de Beck (BDI) ont été utilisées. La comparaison des scores de dépression ne montre pas de différence significative dans les deux populations. En revanche, la population des patients déprimés présente un score plus élevé à l’échelle de désespoir et cela d’une façon significative. Les implications théoriques et pratiques des résultats sont discutées.

Summary

Summary

According to Beck's cognitive theory, hopelessness is the key variable linking depression to suicidal behavior. Previous work on the relationship between depression, hopelessness and attempted suicide is reviewed. Fifteen depressed in-patients were compared to 15 hospitalized suicide attempters. Subjects were assessed on 2 self-report measures (BDI, HS). No significant difference between the 2 groups were observed on the BDI. On the other hand, significant difference between the 2 groups were observed on the HS. Some practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
