Resumen

COUTO, Vilma Valéria Dias  y  TAVARES, Marcelo da Silva Araújo. Attachments and suicide risk among adolescents: review study. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.2, pp. 120-136. ISSN 1677-2970.

The aim of this review was to analyze articles that examined the relationship between attachment and suicidal behavior among adolescents, identifying the types and figures of attachment associated with suicidal behavior. PsycINFO, SciELO and MEDLINE databases were researched from 1996 to 2016. The descriptors were suicide, adolescents and attachment. Forty-six articles were analyzed. Despite the diversity of results, most studies indicated link between insecure attachment or poor parental bonding and suicidal behavior in adolescents. There is no consensus on the category of insecure attachment or parental bonding dimension associated with ideation and suicide attempt. Most articles indicated the quality of the attachment to the mother as a risk or protective factor for suicide among young people. This review showed that the complexity of the phenomena in interaction, the different dimensions of attachment and the variety of assessment instruments should be considered as risk factors and protection to suicide behavior among adolescents in studies addressing attachment.

Palabras clave : suicide; adolescents; attachment; parental bonding.
