Repertory grid and biochemical characterization of depression: a comparison of case reports.
Two cases of depression are presented: One which responded to psychotherapy and the other which responded to medication. These cases were evaluated by repertory grid analysis and by biochemical analysis. These results serve as the basis for a discussion of the use of such analysis as predictors of response in depression to psychotherapy or medication.
