The data was analyzed path analysis using Amos software.    
Results: The findings showed that the direct effect of childhood trauma on suicidal thoughts is significant (P <0.05). Also, the results show that early maladaptive schemas play an intermediate role in the relationship between childhood traumas and suicide thoughts (P <0.05).
