A Predictive Approach to Suicide Notes of Young and Old People from Freud's Formulations with Regard to Suicide.

Leenaars, Antoon A.; Balance, William D. G.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v40 n6 p1362-64 Nov 1984

Judged the contents of 52 suicide notes based on Freud's formulations. Results indicated that 25 protocol sentences discriminated significantly as a set in favor of the notes of young people, which were more self-critical, harsh, perceiving oneself as having little worth, and treating oneself as an object.
