Summary/Abstract: According to the data from the World Health Organisation (Pużyński S., 2000), over 1300 people in the world are killed every day as a result of attempted suicides. The number of suicidal attempts is probably about fifteen times higher. There are two dominating motives of suicidal behaviours – a death wish and a wish of affecting the surrounding community. Inventories for suicide risk assessment are of particular use in diagnostic and therapeutic work. With reference to Frankl’s therapeutic approach, one ought to underline an important role of shaping and developing interests in the suicide prophylactics and in psychocorrection as well. The interests are of both cognitive as well as, what is particularly important, of affective character.
