Pöldinger's suicidal development

According to Pöldinger, suicidal development takes place in these three stages:

1. account,
2. ambivalence
3. decision – apparent relief, preparation.

A table with 16 questions is used to assess the danger (in the textbook RABOCH, Jiří – ZVOLSKÝ, Petr, et al. Psychiatrie. 1. edition. Praha : Galén, 2001. pp. 494. ISBN 80-7262-140-8. ).
