Suicidal Behavior in Relatives or Associates Moderates the Strength of Common Risk Factors for Suicide

The prevalence and odds ratios of different suicide risk factors were compared in three pairs of decedents: 80 suicides and 25 injury decedents with blood relatives with suicidal behavior history (biologically exposed); 259 suicides and 126 injury decedents with unrelated acquaintances with suicidal behavior history (socially exposed); and 471 suicides and 523 injury decedents with neither relatives nor acquaintances with suicidal behavior history (unexposed). Negative life events and high psychological stress were more common in socially exposed suicides than in other suicides. The adjusted odds ratios of most established suicide risk factors were higher in unexposed decedents than in biologically or socially exposed decedents, suggesting that the predictive value of established risk factors wanes in individuals who have been exposed to suicidal behavior in family or friends.

元代北方临济宗的法脉传承

宋金的分治,造成临济宗又一次分为南北两宗。学界对南宗的传承比较清楚,北宗的传承则多语焉不详。相关论著多讲南宗,对北宗只简略介绍海云印简及刘秉忠。^[1]其实,元代北方临济宗不仅只有海云一系,而且海云弟子中也有不少高僧,值得深入研究。20世纪80年代,日本临济宗代表团赠予河北正定有关临济宗的文字资料中有《真定十方临济慧照玄公大宗师道行碑铭》。此碑立于元代,李辉先生以此碑记载为主,考察了金代临济宗的法脉传承。^[2]其实,此碑涉及元代临济宗北方的内容,对我们考察元代临济北宗的传承有重要帮助。
