Comparing Genuine and Simulated Suicide Notes: A New Perspective.

Black, Stephen

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v61 n4 p699-702 Aug 1993

Genuine and simulated suicide notes were analyzed. Genuine notes were selected from completed suicides of men and women who were White and older than 18. Genuine note writers gave more instructions regarding final affairs, provided more factual information, used more religious ideas, and more often dated the note. (Author/SR)
