METHOD: It begins with a literature about the act of suicide associated with cases of accidents or unforeseen events. RESULTS: This study addressed mainly the slips in the actions as phenomena related to the idea of self-punishment, self-censorship and / or impulsive autoinfligimentos caused by unconscious feelings of reprimand.
