Abstract
The present article is aimed at delineating the effects of specific types of parental marital structure on completed adolescent suicide. Parental types showing incongruency between individuation and attachment are more highly associated with adolescent suicidal behavior than are those showing congruency between these two life factors. These results emerge both in a literature review of some eighty-five studies and in an independently conducted study on completed adolescent suicide.
