Comparing Genuine and Simulated Suicide Notes: Response to Diamond et al. (1995).

Black, Stephen T.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v63 n1 p49-51 Feb 1995

Responds to criticism of a method for analyzing genuine and simulated suicide notes. Claims that the critique is based on an inflexible and unnecessarily limited model of scientific psychology as a purely theory-driven enterprise. Discusses problems associated with such a limited view and addresses methodological and logical criticisms. (RJM)
