Summary

A group of 30 manic and hypomanic patients was assessed on the Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory and did not appear to conform well to Foulds' and Bedford's hierarchy model. Failure to fit the hierarchy was caused by lack of scores in the Neurotic Symptom Class. The relationship between delusions of Grandeur and state of Elation, which was found to be inclusive and non-reflexive, did, however, support the hierarchy model.
