Background: Suicidal behavior is a major public health concern worldwide, and the interest in the development of novel and more efficient treatment strategies and therapies to reduce suicidal risk is increasing. Some recent studies have summarized the results of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy of psychotherapeutic tools designed to treat patients at suicidal risk. However, observational studies, which reflect real-world effectiveness and may use original approaches, have not been reviewed. Method: The aim of this study is to systematically review the available scientific evidence issued from observational studies on the clinical effectiveness of psychotherapeutic tools designed to treat patients at suicide risk. We have thus performed a systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science databases. Results: Out of 1578 papers, 40 original observational studies fulfilled our selection criteria. The most used psychotherapeutic treatments were dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT, 27.5%) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT, 15.0%) in patients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (32.5%) and depression (15.0%). Despite the between-study heterogeneity, interventions lead to a reduction in suicidal outcomes, i.e., suicidal ideation (55.0%) and suicide attempts (37.5%). The content and reporting quality varied considerably between the studies. Conclusion: DBT and CBT are the most widely used psychotherapeutic interventions and show promising results in existing observational studies. Some of the included studies provide innovative approaches. Group therapies and internet-based therapies, which are cost-effective methods, are promising treatments and would need further study.

The aim of this study is to identify the characteristic features of suicide reattempters. The recognition of the suicide reattempters population as a distinct clinical population may encourage future preventive and clinical work with this high-risk subgroup and thus reduce deaths. A systematic literature review was carried out in order to identify the key demographic, psychological, and clinical variables associated with the repetition of suicide attempts. In addition, we wished to analyze the operational definitions of the repetition of suicide attempts proposed in the scientific literature. Studies published from 2000 to 2012 were identified in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases and were selected according to predetermined criteria. We examined a total of 1480 articles and selected 86 that matched our search criteria. The literature is heterogeneous, with no consensus regarding the operational definitions of suicide reattempters. Comparison groups in the literature have also been inconsistent and include subjects making a single lifetime attempt and subjects who did not reattempt during a defined study period. Suicide reattempters were associated with higher rates of the following characteristics: unemployment, unmarried status, diagnosis of mental disorders, suicidal ideation, stressful life events, and family history of suicidal behavior. Additional research is needed to establish adequate differentiation and effective treatment plans for this population.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar un análisis bibliométrico de Psykhe (1992de Psykhe ( -2016, considerando algunos elementos históricos que contextualizan su trayectoria, para describir sus principales características y evaluar su evolución cronológica. Para ello se construyó una base de datos con la totalidad de publicaciones de la revista (25 volúmenes y 48 números), con una muestra total de 531 artículos científicos. Se aplicaron indicadores bibliométricos, tales como los índices de productividad (Lotka), de colaboración (Subramanyam y Lawani), de temáticas y metodologías utilizadas, así como indicadores de impacto que permiten realizar comparaciones con otras revistas de referencia en la región. Los resultados evidencian que la primera autoría de los artículos correspondió a una mayor proporción de mujeres. Se vislumbra una clara tendencia al alza del número de artículos a mediados de los años 2000, el área temática con mayor número de artículos es psicología educacional y los índices de colaboración han mejorado sustancialmente hacia la actualidad. El análisis permite visualizar algunas de las fortalezas y desafíos de Psykhe. Sería interesante en futuros estudios realizar comparaciones con otras revistas de similares características. Palabras clave: bibliometría, indicadores, productividad científica, revista, psicologíaThe aim of this study was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of Psykhe , taking into consideration some historical elements that contextualize the history of the publication, to describe its main characteristics and evaluate its chronological evolution. In order to do this, a database of the entire journal (25 volumes and 48 issues) was constructed with a total sample of 531 scientific articles. Bibliometric indicators were applied, covering productivity (Lotka), collaboration (Subramanyam and Lawani), subject matters and methodologies indexes, as well as impact indicators, all of which made it possible to compare Psykhe with other reference journals in the region. Results show that most first authors were women. There is a clear upward trend in the number of articles published at the mid2000s, the subject area with the most articles published is educational psychology, and collaboration rates have improved substantially up to now. The analysis conducted sheds light on some of Psykhe's strengths and challenges. It would be interesting to perform comparisons with other journals of similar characteristics in future studies.Keywords: bibliometrics, indicators, scientific productivity, journal, psychology Las revistas científicas nacen del interés y necesidad de comunicar los resultados de investigación y generar espacios de discusión entre académicos.

It is nowadays accepted that, independently of methodological issues, women commit fewer suicides than men but make more frequent attempts. Yet, female suicidal risk varies greatly along the lifetime and is linked to the most significant moments in it. A wide analysis of the existing literature was performed to provide a narrative description on the evolution of female suicidal rates from childhood to old age, considering the milestones in their life history. A detailed analysis of gender differences in suicidal behavior is key to establish preventive measures and priorities. More specific studies are needed to adapt future interventions on female suicide.

Financial wellness requires capabilities that depend on gaining access to financial and asset-building supports, and not merely developing financial skills. The proposed framework outlines new roles and competencies for peer providers to help individuals build essential financial capabilities, and address social determinants of mental health and disability. Research is currently underway to pilot-test and refine peer-supported economic empowerment strategies. (PsycINFO Database Record

El trabajo presenta la influencia que tiene la experiencia de los agentes en el modelamiento de la representación que poseen sobre la relación familia-escuela en contexto rural. El objetivo del estudio es reconocer las representaciones sociales que profesorado y familias poseen respecto a la relación familia-escuela. La metodología utilizada corresponde a la cualitativa a través del método sociofenomenológico, la técnica de producción de datos es la entrevista semiestructurada. La investigación se desarrolla en 10 escuelas rurales pertenecientes a la Región de Ñuble en Chile. Se entrevistó a un total de 16 docentes y 36 personas apoderadas; los datos se analizaron mediante el análisis semántico. Los resultados muestran que la experiencia vital de los sujetos agentes influye en la representación que poseen sobre la relación familia-escuela y el papel que a cada sujeto agente involucrado le atribuye. Desde el profesorado, se aprecia una distinción entre las concepciones derivadas de la experiencia docente, experiencias personales y el conocimiento acabado del contexto. Por su parte, las familias reconocen la influencia de la experiencia derivada del ciclo vital familiar, diferenciando entre personas apoderadas primerizas y aquellas que inclusive se responsabilizan por el cuidado de nietos y nietas. A modo de conclusión, la influencia de la experiencia como modeladora de las representaciones que profesorado y familias poseen respecto de la relación familia-escuela y el rol que a cada sujeto le compete está dada por la confluencia de los múltiples mundos vividos por los sujetos agentes interpelados.

Introduction Suicide is the second leading cause of premature death in people between 15 and 29 years old and the third in young people between 15 and 19 years old. Adolescence is a critical period concerning mental health disorders since there is greater vulnerability to suicidal behaviors. The situation in Latin America is worrying, with Chile being one of the two countries where suicide rates of children and adolescents increase yearly. This study aims to analyze clinical, psychological, family, and social risk factors associated with suicidal behavior in a clinical sample of adolescents treated in the public health system of the Maule region. Methods The study design is cross- sectional. We used a sample of 388 adolescents between 10 and 21 years old admitted to the health system of the Maule Region. The participants were evaluated by applying five measuring instruments (The Barrat Impulsivity Scale, The Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale, The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire for mental health problems in adolescents, and The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale) in addition to collecting social and family information and relevant clinical history from the medical records. Results The analysis allowed us to identify distinctive characteristics of adolescent suicidal behavior by describing clinical, psychological, and family social factors. Conclusions Adolescents with a history of suicide attempts are characterized by having suicidal ideation, anxious-depressive symptoms, stress, insomnia, and impulsiveness. Likewise, they report being non-religious, belonging to sexual minorities, and victims of sexual harassment and/or abuse.
