Suicide-related metacognitions in psychiatric inpatients admitted after suicide attempt or an acute suicidal crisis: a longitudinal mediation analysis
Findings provide the first longitudinal support for the metacognitive model of suicidality in a clinical sample. Suicide-specific rumination and positive metacognitions may be important drivers of intensification and prolongation of suicidal ideation and suicidal intent formation in the high-risk post-discharge period.
