Abstract
A sample of 316 psychiatric admissions were given the Grid Test of Thought Disorder (Bannister & Fransella, 1966, 1967). Test indices were shown to relate to case note judgements and marginally to prognostic data of the ‘condition on discharge’ type. The relationship between grid scores and diagnostic category was examined. A measure of the degree of abnormality of patterning of construct relationships (Social Deviation) was derived from the grid and shown to relate to structural thought disorder, sex and presence of a precipitating factor for the ‘illness’. The process implications of the findings are discussed.Keywords
