Abstract
Yarahmadi, Y - Yoosefi, N This research was aimed to study the effectiveness of family therapy based on Bowen’s emotional system therapy and logo therapy in improvement of suicide tendency among counseling-seeking clients of Islamic Azad University, in Iranian city of Sanandaj. This was an experimental study, with pretest and post-test, with control group. Sixty students out of all referring clients were selected through random sampling method. Applying Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation Scale (1979) & diagnostic interview based on DSM- IV- R, suicide tendency of students was assessed. These 60 subjects were randomly assigned in equal numbers into three groups (20 subjects in each group – Bowen, logotherapy, control). The results showed relatively equal amount of effect by Bowen’s emotional system therapy and logo therapy, in improvement of suicide tendency of participating students. Due to the mentioned findings, it can be recommended that counselors and psychotherapists use either approach in helping young people who may be suffering from suicidal ideations or tendencies.

Abstract
Aim: Suicide is a main cause of death worldwide, especially in teens and adolescents. The aim of this research was a structural test of the three-step theory of suicide in students. Methods: Current research method was descriptive in the form of correlation that used structural equation model. Research community included all students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University, among whome 630 people were selected as sample through available sampling. Suicide Attempt questionnaire (Dhingra, et.al, 2018), Depressive Symptom-Suicidality Subscale (DSI-SS) Joiner et al. (2002), The Psychological Ache Scale based on Shneidman theory (1993), Hopelessness, Fraser, et.al (2014), Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire by Hill et.al. (2015), Self-Perceived Acquired Capability for Suicide by Rimkeviciene et.al. (2016), and Suicide Capacity Scale-3, by Klonsky & May (2015) were used. Fndings: Findings showed that the composition of psychological ache and hopelessness are the main predictors of suicide attempt, and lack of interpersonal needs has a protective role. However, just acquired capability for suicide, in some extent can predict suicide attempt. Conclusion: The results showed that Psychological ache and hopelessness have an effect on suicide attempt both directly and indirectly through the idea of suicide and the acquired capacity of suicide. Also, the relationship between acquired capacity and suicide attempt in the model was eliminated due to its low factor loading and better fit of the model. From these findings we can conclude that the three-step Theory of suicide model has a good fitness in Iranian community. Based on 3-step model, combination of hopelessness and psychological ache can lead to suicide ideation, and lack of interpersonal needs can act as a protective factor.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mental disorders and resilience against suicide in a suicide attempt. This research is applied, in terms of purpose, and post-event in terms of type. Methods: The statistical population of the study included all young men in Qazvin and the statistical sample included 80 of them who were purposefully selected and divided into two groups of suicide attempters and normal people. The Revised Mental Disorders Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90-R) and the Suicide Resilience Questionnaire (Osman et al., 2004) were utilized to collect data. Results: The results showed that the mean scores of those who attempted suicide were significantly high on aggression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, physical complaints, psychosis, paranoid delusions, depression, and morbid fear than normal individuals. Also, the mean scores of those who attempted suicide were significantly lower than the normal group in the overall score of resilience and internal protective subscales, emotional stability, and external protection (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it is suggested to increase the resilience against suicide with psychological training and with interventions based on psychotherapy theories, to address mental disorders which played an important role in a suicide attempt in the present study, and as such to reduce the risk of suicide.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to predict suicide attempt based on psychological pains, interpersonal needs, and peer pressure in students. Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included all students in city of Rasht (Iran), from which 250 people were selected through random sampling. Research instruments included Schneidmann (1993) Psychache Scale, Joiner et al. (2006) Interpersonal Needs, Dehingra, Budoshk, & O'Connor (2016) Suicide Attempt, and a peer pressure researcher-made questionnaire through which data was collected and analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression. Finding: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between psychological pain (psychache), perceived burdensomeness, and peer pressure with suicide attempts (P <0.01). And the results of regression analysis showed that psych ache and neutral belongingness can predict suicide in students (P <0.05). But the role of psychological pain has a higher power of predictability in suicide attempts among students. Conclusion: It can be concluded that psychological painss and neutral belonging are important factors that can predict suicide in students.
