Accident and suicide. An ongoing study of comparable hospitalised groups of drivers injured in one-car accidents and survivors of serious suicide attempts.

Similarities and differences between automobile accidents and suicide have led to a study of the individual driver' s role in an accident situation, as it relates to his general personality type and life style, as well as to his current life situation and his psychological reactions to it. A methodology is presented for the collection of data for a reliable measuring instrument and for the statistical testing of hypotheses.
