The clinical usefulness of a typology of parasuicide, reported in a previous paper, has been improved. A finer grained classification using 6 instead of only 3 clusters, has proved itself to be clinically highly realistic. By a new method of cluster analysis which examines 80 attributes in each of 350 patients, the following types of parasuicide emerge: operant, not alienated; repeaters; depressed with high life endangerment; operant & alienated; wristcutters; & undifferentiated.
