This paper deals with the presence of suicidal behavior in a mental health clinic & psychiatric emergency room and its relationships to “dependent-dissatisfied” personality. Procedures included a suicidal potential scale, projective figure drawings & a brief interview about past & present suicidal behavior. The scale used significantly differentiated between high & low potentially suicidal groups with high suicidal group showing greater dissatisfaction with treatment both past & present.(DD)
