title: Suicide notes and their implications for intervention.
abstract: Suicide is a complicated human phenomenon. Various points of view on the study of suicide and suicidal phenomena are warranted. Suicide notes are one such approach. This paper briefly summarizes the author's research on suicide notes and draws conclusions for preventive work with highly lethal individuals. It is hoped that these implications for intervention can be useful and life-saving, although it is concluded that there is no singular universal response to suicide.
