Hopelessness |

| Authors: | Maria Kovacs Aaron T Beck Arlene Weissman |
| Abstract: | ABSTRACT: 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. |
