Are we sure this is the same Michael Mahoney? The one who wrote
Scientist as Subject that I read in grad school over 25 years ago? It
is not an uncommon name.
If, as the obit suggests, he was just hired in September, I find that unusual.

Dear Colleagues
I have a very sad new about a famous psychologist that put a big mark in
psychology and in many of his friends: Michael Mahoney
(http://www.constructivist.net/mahoney/home.htm ) commit a very violent
suicide.
I'm very sorry to hear this. I recall Michael J. Mahoney as an
accomplished cognitive behaviour modifier, although I had only limited
knowledge of his work. I think I must have at least one of his books on
my shelf. A scan through his bibliography on the web page given by Jose
shows a highly impressive career, with many important contributions to
behaviour modification. Judging from the description on his web page
describing him as a "holistic counsellor" and details in his
autobiography, it appears, surprisingly, that he had in recent years
moved on to matters some distance from the field of behaviour
modification.
I was unable to find any news item reporting his death, unusual for such
an important contributor to clinical psychology. However, the report is
confirmed by the following message on the website of Salve Regina
University, June 3, 2006 ( http://www.salve.edu/salvetoday/ ):
"The university community is saddened by the passing of Dr. Michael
Mahoney, a professor in the holistic counseling department since last
September. Further details regarding arrangements will be announced as
they are shared with the university. Please keep Michael Mahoney and his
family in your thoughts and prayers."
