Description We were inspired to write this article by the research of children suicide (realised at the Childrens hospital FN Brno). At the article we attempted to concentrate the general knowledge of the suicide and of the crises, that could make us to profoundly comprehend these sensitive problems. At the first part of the article there are reminded the course and trends of the public opinions of the suicide and death. After that we defined the basic concepts of the suicidal action (suicide, involuntary self-slaughter, risky behaviour, suicidal tendency, cryptogenic suicide etc.). At the main passage we tried to approach to the foundation of the suicide by the delineation of the knowledge of the conflict, crisis, stress, experience of the end or death and so on. Among others we aimed our attention to theories of the crisis that have broad range of validity (not only in relation to suicides). At the final part of the article we have mentioned some statistical knowledge about suicidal actions and factors resulted into danger of suicide and presuicidal syndrome. In the conclusion of the article we reminded the importance of the understanding and comprehension of the concrete person what is the basis not only for treatment and therapy, but for prevention too.
