Sammendrag

Forskningsprogram som oversetter teorier til testbare hypoteser
- translational research - har en sentral rolle i klinisk
behandlingsforskning generelt, men er lite brukt som basis
for utvikling av effektive og evidensbaserte behandlinger
innen selvmordsfeltet. Cry of Pain-teorien og det teoretisk
beslektede rammeverket Differential Activation for suicidalitet
har vært toneangivende i prosessen med å nyansere myter
om selvmordsatferd som et ‘rop om hjelp’, men like viktig er
at den demonstrerer potensialet for translational research
i selvmordsforskning. Artikkelen viser hvordan teorien har
generert testbare hypoteser som i sin tur har lagt grunnlaget
for nyskapende behandlinger. Den har derfor markert et
veiskille i forskningstilnærmingen til behandlingsutvikling innen
selvmordsfeltet.

Abstract

Clark’s (2004) translational research agenda in clinical psychological
science has been extremely influential in treatments for
anxiety and depression, but have been underutilised in suicide
research. Williams’s Cry of Pain theory of suicide highlights the
potential for using this model in the context of treatment development
in the suicide field. This paper outlines the theory, its evidence
base and clinical implications. It is argued that research
delineating mechanisms underpinning suicidal behaviour is key
in the process towards more robust clinical treatments of people
at risk of suicide and suicidal behaviour.
