In 1960 a Personal Emergency Advisory (Telephone) Service was opened in Melbourne. The setting up of this facility was largely motivated by a concern with the allegedly rising suicide figures. However, such a facility is perhaps rather more concerned with “the relief of anxiety rather than with the direct prevention of suicide”. Such a point of view is clearly supported by an analysis of the Melbourne figures for the period April, 1960-March, 1962 when the incidence of “suicide calls” was found to be some 10 per cent of the total calls received
