Hendin, quoted earlier, notes: “It should be kept in mind that fatal suicide attempts are often made by people who are hoping to influence or manipulate the feelings of other people even though they will not be around to witness the success or failure of their efforts. ”
يذكر الدكتور هَندِن ،‏ المقتبس منه سابقا :‏ « لا يجب ان ننسى ان محاولات الانتحار الناجحة غالبا ما يقوم بها افراد يأملون ان يؤثروا في الآخرين او يتلاعبوا بمشاعرهم ،‏ وإن لم يحيوا ليروا هل نجحت جهودهم او فشلت » .‏
