Abstract

Used a 6-point clinical scale proposed by D. Buglass and J. A. Horton (see record [rid]1975-01427-001[/rid]) to predict among 183 Ss who had attempted suicide the risk of their repeating the attempt within a year. The validity and specificity of the instrument are discussed, based on the new attempts observed. (English & Spanish abstracts) (27 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
