Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This paper proposes that reflexive skills—the ability to understand and evaluate oneself and one's behavior—can help prevent suicidal behavior in adolescents. The authors identify three stages in developing these skills: emotional (building positive self-evaluation), cognitive (understanding one's problem-solving abilities), and operational (solving problems based on self-assessment). The work is theoretical rather than empirical and suggests that training programs based on this model could be delivered in psychiatric and psychological centers for at-risk youth.
Key points
- Reflexive skills are defined as deliberate actions for understanding and evaluating oneself and one's own behavior
- Three developmental stages are identified: emotional (positive self-evaluation), cognitive (awareness of capabilities), and operational (problem-solving)
- The framework is proposed as a basis for developing training programs in psychiatric and psychological centers
- The analysis draws on theoretical and empirical studies by psychiatrists and psychologists but does not present new empirical findings
Limitations
This is a theoretical paper that analyzes existing literature rather than presenting original empirical data or testing an intervention. It does not provide evidence of whether training programs based on this three-stage model actually reduce suicidal behavior in adolescents.
Abstract
Introduction An important task of psychiatrists and psychologists is the prevention of suicidal behavior in adolescents. Objectives Highlighting the stages of the formation of reflexive skills for the development of training sessions on the prevention of adolescent suicide. Methods Analysis of the results of theoretical and empirical studies of reflection and suicide by psychiatrists and psychologists. Results Reflexive skills are a system of deliberate actions aimed at understanding and evaluating “I” and one’s own behavior. Theoretical analysis made it possible to distinguish three stages in the formation of reflexive skills. EMOTIONAL - evaluation of “I” as the basis of positive emotions. COGNITIVE - understanding (awareness) of one’s own capabilities for solving a problem. OPERATIONAL - solving a problem based on an assessment of the “I” and an understanding of their capabilities. Conclusions The identification of three stages of the formation of reflexive skills, as prevention of adolescent suicide, makes it possible to develop an effective training program for adolescents at risk in the Centers for psychiatric and psychological assistance.
