Abstract: This PhD-project aims to develop a multivariate model of suicidality inthe elderly which integrates psychiatric, psychological and age-specific factors (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Koen Demyttenaere; Co-promoter: Prof. Dr.Ajit Shah). A theory of categorization of different manifestations of suicidality, based on in-depth interviews with patients expressing suicidality, will be induced in a qualitative pilot phase. This theory and thehypothesis that different categories of suicidality can be linked to a different composition of psychiatric, psychological and age-specific factors (based on the data derived from the qualitative research) will be tested in a quantative way in a second phase of the project.
