TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Hopelessness: an indicator of suicidal risk JO - Suicide A1 - Kovacs, Maria A1 - Beck, Aaron T. A1 - Weissman, A. SP - 98 EP - 103 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - In a sample of 87 hospitalized suicide attempters, a hopelessness scale was found to be significantly better than a depression inventory as an indicator of suicidal risk. Hopelessness also correlated better than depression with self-ratings of the attenuation of the desire to go on living. LA - SN - 0360-1390 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
