Extract

This paper describes the distribution of female attempted suicide and other psychiatric admissions to the twenty-bedded Psychiatric Unit of Trinidad and Tobago (population about 1 million). Reports from this area have hitherto been concerned with the socio-cultural but not the clinical aspects (McCandless, 1968; Roberts and Russell, 1969) of psychiatric disorders.
