Summary/Abstract: The results of previous research increasingly indicate the correlation of PTSD and suicidality, and this increasingly imposes the importance of identifying suicidal behaviors in the population of PTSD, as well as timely preventive action in a clinical practice. Addressing the potential differences between suicidal and non-suicidal people with PTSD, so far has not yielded consistent results. The aim of this research is to examine whether there are differences in the psychopathological characteristics of a personality with between persons with PTSD in regard to their suicidal status. The survey has involved 147 participants, out of which 91 men and 56 women who were diagnosed with PTSD according to MKB-10. Based on suicide status (suicidal / non-suicidal), the sample is divided into two subunits.
