Abstract

Objective: To review publications addressing suicidal behaviour in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1967-2012.

Method: A PubMed/MEDLINE search using the words suicide, attempted suicide (and their synonyms) and Aust NZ J Psychiatr was carried out, and an examination of all tables of contents of the journal for the years 1967-2012 was performed.

Results: In 342 (7.4%) of 4599 articles there was reference to suicidal behaviour. This ratio was consistent over time, although the nature of their content changed from broader epidemiological and clinical review studies to more focused reports.

Conclusions: Papers addressing suicidal behaviour have been published consistently in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry since its inception in 1967. Early clinical reviews remain pertinent to the present time.

Keywords: Suicide; attempted suicide; behaviour; publications.
