Analytical family therapists have observed in families of suicidal @entity1 massive destructiveness. This was brought into context with early experiences of @entity204 in these families. This is statistically evaluated in this study. On 39 @entity1 who attempted suicide and a control group as well as the parents in both groups the early experiences of @entity204 were investigated. According to this, there is a very serious predisposition to attempted suicide when the parents as well as the @entity1 have lost close relatives through @entity204 in their childhood. Such losses during the childhood of the parents probably increase the suicidal tendencies of the @entity1 . But when only the @entity1 experienced such losses, the tendency to suicide was less than with others. These results partly explain the contradictions of previous statistics that only investigated losses through @entity204 in one generation or the other and not the interactions between both. The new findings are in agreement with psychoanalytical theories. Their significance for the psychodynamics of suicide and particularly for the passing on of traumatic experiences to the next generation is discussed.
