A RESEARCH GROUP AT THE LOS ANGELES SUICIDE PREVENTION CENTER IS NOT ONLY CONCERNED WITH PRESENTING RESEARCH DEALING WITH THE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF CONCEPTS ON PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY AND THERAPY, BUT ALSO TO A GREATER EXTENT WITH THE TESTING OF HYPOTHESES GENERATED FROM PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY AND EXPERIENCE. THE METHOD CONSISTED OF TAPING INTERVIEWS NOT LONGER THAN 4 TO 5 HOURS WITH PATIENTS IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL; PSYCHOANALYTICALLY TRAINED INVESTIGATORS USED AN OPEN-ENDED ASSOCIATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION PERTAINING TO SUCH QUESTIONS AS SUICIDAL ACTS AND COMMUNICATIONS, DRIVING HISTORY, INCREASED RISK-TAKING, ETC. IN ADDITION TWO PILOT STUDIES--INVOLVING PSYCHOANALYSTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, AND TRAINED LAY WORKERS--WERE CONDUCTED TO TEST THE RELIABILITY OF THE INTERVIEWERS.
