title: [The operational aspect of thought in psychopathology. Analytic factors and classification of technics].
abstract: The identification of the parameters of analysis allowing a strictly definite assessment of the results of qualitative techniques of examination is essential for increasing the reliability and validity of these methods. The author presents an extensive classification of the analytic factors reflecting the operational side of thinking. The analysis is made on the basis of such parameters as abstraction standardization and adequacy. Principles have been elaborated for a discrete evaluation of the abstraction levels. The evaluation is fit for standardization and does not depend on the method employed. A classification of the verbal techniques for studying the thinking is offered which will take into account the nature of the task, "the range of sensitivity", validity and reliability. The specific characteristics of concrete techniques are outlined in detail which will contribute to their more adequate use in pathopsychological studies.
