[en] Empathy and suicide among minor people are two research topics currently very explored. Psychologists often speak about suicide because it represents the second cause of mortality among 15-24-year-old adolescents (Delvenne, 2005). Several studies have already analyzed the links between empathy skills and some psychopathology (behavioral disorders, hyperactivity and alcoholism) but no research before this one has developed empathic abilities in suicidal adolescents. The aims of the present study were respectively to examine suicidal adolescents’ empathy skills, interpersonal capacities and to investigate the quality of their social relationships.
