Popis: In this study authors have analysed a group of patients (N=65) that were treated at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry, Psychiatric Hospital Rab, during the period of 1998-2000. Detailed analysis of all anamnestic and hetero-anamnestic data as well as the observations during the treatment separated few significant patterns of self-destructive behaviour of various intensity and different possible consequences. The results showed out that within the first group of patients with self-destructive behaviour was noticed a significant increased number of younger age patients who were diagnosed with personality disorder especially borderline and antisocial type. Additionally facing difficulties with alcohol abuse and drug addiction. In a second group there were older patients with serious attempt of suicide dominantly diagnosed with endogenous psychosis, especially schizophrenia.
