abstract="OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pilot study was to predict resolution of suicidal ideation and risk over the course of therapy among suicidal outpatients (N = 144) using a novel method for analyzing Self- verses Relationally-oriented qualitative written responses to the Suicide Status Form (SSF). <br><br>METHODS: A content analysis software program was used to extract word counts and a repeated measures longitudinal design was implemented to assess improvement over time. <br><br>RESULTS: Patients with primarily Relationally-focused word counts were more likely to have a quicker suicide risk resolution than those with more Self-focused word counts (6-7 sessions versus 17-18 sessions). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Implications of these data are discussed, including the potential for enhancing treatment outcomes using this method with individuals entering treatment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
