title: [Analysis of clinical cases adopting three-mode factor analysis].
abstract: The purpose of the present study was to examine sequentially the evaluations of the self and others in psychotherapy using the Rating Grid Method, one of the Repertory Grid Techniques. A construct system of Subject A was composed of "pleasant-painful", "steady-hopeless", "stable-anxious", "comfortable-irritable", "feeling of freedom-feeling of pressure", "specific-vague", "strong-week", and "refreshing-gloomy". That of Subject B consisted of "fearful-not fearful", "composed-restless", "pleasant-painful", "dignified-undignified", "eager-lazy", "realistic-mysterious", "perfectionism-slipshod", and "decisive-irresolute". The evaluations of the two subjects in the Rating Grid Method were analyzed using three-mode factor analysis. These results were then compared with diagnoses obtained through psychotherapy.
