The purpose of the present study is to point out suicidal contagion and suicidal collusion describing clinical cases, to improve professional skills in suicidal risk evaluation and management. In suicide contagion we described three typologies of contagion between therapist and patient: 1) suicide contagion of the environment on the therapist and on the patient; 2) suicide contagion of the therapist on the patient; 3) suicide contagion of the patient on the therapist. We described also four typologies of suicidal collusion with specific kind of patients: 1) with patient suffering of physical illness; 2) with patient suffering of a serious mental illness; 3) with manipulative patients; 4) with patient who is aggressive toward himself and toward other people. In conclusion we pointed out the importance of an adequate recognizement and management of suicidal contagion and collusion to decrease patient suicidal risk.

Lo scopo del presente studio è di illustrare, attraverso la descrizione di casi clinici, le dinamiche del contagio e della collusione suicidaria tra terapeuta e paziente ai fini di una migliore formazione professionale del terapeuta nella valutazione e gestione del rischio suicidario del paziente. Sono descritte tre tipologie di contagio nel rapporto terapeuta-paziente: 1) contagio suicidario dell’ambiente sul terapeuta e sul paziente; 2) contagio suicidario dal paziente al terapeuta; 3) contagio suicidario dal terapeuta al paziente.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to point out suicidal contagion and suicidal collusion describing clinical cases, to improve professional skills in suicidal risk evaluation and management. In suicide contagion we described three typologies of contagion between therapist and patient: 1) suicide contagion of the environment on the therapist and on the patient; 2) suicide contagion of the therapist on the patient; 3) suicide contagion of the patient on the therapist. We described also four typologies of suicidal collusion with specific kind of patients: 1) with patient suffering of physical illness; 2) with patient suffering of a serious mental illness; 3) with manipulative patients; 4) with patient who is aggressive toward himself and toward other people. In conclusion we pointed out the importance of an adequate recognizement and management of suicidal contagion and collusion to decrease patient suicidal risk.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
