Abstract

G. M. Diamond et al.'s (1995) critique of S. T. Black (1993) is based on an inflexible and unnecessarily limited model of scientific psychology as a purely theory-driven enterprise. There is more than one way to legitimately contribute scientific knowledge in psychology. This article includes a discussion of the problems associated with their view and a response to methodological and logical criticisms. Research on suicide notes may yet be fruitful and ought not be abandoned. © 1995 American Psychological Association.
