processing the at least one category of information with at least one analysis to quantify at least one type of information in the at least one category; and
generating an output communication which assesses a risk posed by the author based upon the at least one computer generated communication when a difference between the quantification of at least one type of information for the at least one category and a reference for the at least one category is detected involving the psychological state of the author reflected by the group of words to which a responsive action should be taken with content of the output communication and the at least one category being programmable to define a psychological state in response to which an action should be taken and what the action is to be taken in response to the defined psychological state, and wherein
the collected at least one computer generated communication comprises at least one of email, chat from a chat room and information obtained from a server, a plurality of analyses are used to process the categories of information comprising at least one psychological profiling algorithm which provides an indication of a psychological state of the author, at least one key word algorithm which processes any phrases and/or threatening acts to further identify a psychological state of the author and how the author may react to the identified psychological state and at least one message characteristic algorithm which analyzes characteristics of the at least one computer generated communication to identify a psychological state and/or at least one possible action of the author.

a parser, executed by the at least one processor, which parses the group of words of at least one computer generated communication to identify at least one category of information therein;
the at least one processor performs at least one analysis of at least one of the at least one category of information to quantify at least one type of information in the at least one category which is stored in the database; and
the at least one processor generates an output communication which assesses a risk posed by the author based upon the at least one computer generated communication when a difference between the quantification of at least one type of information for the at least one category and a reference for the at least one category is detected involving the psychological state of the author reflected by the group of words to which a responsive action should be taken with content of the output communication and the at least one category being programmable to define a psychological state in response to which an action should be taken and what the action is to be taken in response to the defined psychological state, and wherein
the collected at least one computer generated communication comprises at least one of email, chat from a chat room and information obtained from a server, a plurality of analyses are used to process the categories of information comprising at least one psychological profiling algorithm which provides an indication of a psychological state of the author, at least one key word algorithm which processes any phrases and/or threatening acts to further identify a psychological state of the author and how the author may react to the identified psychological state and at least one message characteristic algorithm which analyzes characteristics of the at least one computer generated communication to identify a psychological state and/or at least one possible action of the author.
3. A system as recited in claim 2 wherein:
the output communication is generated by the at least one processor by a report generator program which generates a report pertaining to the author.
4. A system in accordance with claim 2 wherein:
the input is coupled to a communication system of an organization to which the author is affiliated and which collects the at least one computer generated communication produced or received by the one author; and
the output communication is directed to the organization indicating that at least one of an investigation and corrective action should be considered relative to the author.
5. A system in accordance with claim 2 wherein:
the output communication is used to alter the at least one computer generated communication.
6. A system in accordance with claim 5 wherein:
the author uses the output communication to alter the at least one computer generated communication.
7. A system in accordance with claim 6 wherein:
the altering of the at least one computer generated communication modifies a psychological state reflected in the at least one computer generated communication in a manner desired by the author.
8. A method of computer analysis of computer generated communications comprised of a group of words written by an author in order to determine a psychological state of the author which is reflected by the group of words comprising:
collecting at least one computer generated communication comprised of the group of words written by the author;
parsing the group of words of at least one computer generated communication to identify at least category of information therein;
processing the at least one category of information with at least one analysis to quantify at least one type of information in the at least one category; and
generating an output communication which assesses a risk posed by the author based upon the at least one computer generated communication when a difference between the quantification of at least one type of information for the at least one category and a reference for the at least one category is detected involving the psychological state of the author reflected by the group of words to which a responsive action should be taken with content of the output communication and the at least one category being programmable to define a psychological state in response to which an action should be taken and what the action is to be taken in response to the defined psychological state; and wherein
a plurality of analyses are used to process the at least one category of information comprising at least one psychological profiling algorithm which provides an indication of a psychological state of the author, at least one key word algorithm which processes any phrases and/or threatening acts to further identify a psychological state of the author and how the author may react to the identified psychological state and at least one message characteristic algorithm which analyzes characteristics of the at least one computer generated communication to identify a psychological state and/or at least one possible action of the author.
