A Socio-Psychological Investigation of Suicide (IN: Perspectives in Personality Research, ed. by H P David and J C Brengelman)

Using suicide notes & other sociological & psychological information, this study seeks to juxtapose psychological & sociological suicidal data (for the same community & the same time frame) so that congruencies between the 2 sets of data – that of the individual & of the social structure – might be indicated & their relationships to suicidal data explored. Implications of the study are reviewed. (23 refs.) (LH)
