Abstract

This is a descriptive account of 22 psychiatric patients who precipitated themselves out of high buildings, usually the window of a psychiatric ward. The clinical characteristics of these subjects and the circumstances of the jump are studied. Some recommendations are made to try and prevent the severe consequences of this behaviour.
