This study assesses the feasibility of traditional tests-the Rorschach, MMPI & SCT- in discriminating suicidal patients. From those who were depressed. A sample of 40 attempters ( 20 males, 20 females) were matched with a like number of male & female depressives, according to sex & age. The groups were compared on the basis of the 3 tests. Although various features of suicide attempters were found, none were accurate enough to make a clear cut prediction of self destructive behavior. 10 Ref.
