Comment on Black's (1993) Article, "Comparing Genuine and Simulated Suicide Notes: A New Perspective."

Diamond, Gary M.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v63 n1 p46-48 Feb 1995

Critiques an article that compared genuine suicide notes with simulated notes. Elaborates on theoretical and methodological difficulties, noting a lack of hypotheses, operationalized constructs, and prediction testing. Examines the operational design used in the article and suggests that the study of suicide notes in such a fashion should cease. (RJM)
