Extract

The reviewer here outlines the theory behind Patrick Slater's technique for the analysis of Repertory Grids. He then presents an analysis of a very simple Grid. The clinical possibilities of the method are assessed, and it is put into its context as a research design by a comparison with other multivariate methods.
