factor analysis for binary responses

E. Bernardo
Dear experts,

I am doing exploratory factor analysis for the 60 binary response items (0 or 1).  The goal is to uncover the factor structures of the items and reduce the items into a few number of factors.  What method of extraction in SPSS is appropriate for my data and also what rotation method is appropriate?

Thank you in advance.
