abstract="Ten typologies of suicide previously proposed by suicidologists were applied to a large sample (N - 404) of completed suicide cases and classified by judges as descriptive or not descriptive of each case. Classifications showed a high degree of interrater reliability, and the typologies were able to classify from 61% to 86% of the cases. Considerable overlap was found among typology subtypes. Cross-tabulations between classifications revealed five clusters of subtypes which described 86% of all cases: Escapist, Confused, Aggressive, Alienated, and Depressive/Low Self-Esteem. These five clusters appear distinct from each other as described by their characteristics. <br><br>DISCUSSION focuses on implications for the development of risk assessment and type-specific treatments. © 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
