Focusing on language and the assessment of its meaning, this volume
concentrates on a method of content analysis developed by the
author and Goldine Gleser. Applicable to transcripts of speech or
verbal texts, this method uses the grammatical clause as its
smallest unit of communication, considers whether or not a verb is
transitive and involves an object, or is intransitive and describes
a state of being. It derives scores on many scales that have been
tested for reliability of scoring and for construct validity with
concurrently administered measures, such as rating and self-report
scales as well as biochemical and pharmacological criteria.
Finally, this volume provides detailed descriptions of the clinical
and basic research establishing the validity of these scales, so
that a reader can locate studies that have pertinence to any
special interest area.
A major achievement described in this book is the development of
computer software that understands grammar and syntax, can parse
natural language, knows most of the words in the Merriam-Webster
dictionary, has been taught to identify idioms and slang, and is
capable of continuing to learn. The program can score all the
scales, report whether the scores obtained from a verbal sample are
one to three standard deviations from the norms, and suggest APA
DSM-IIIR diagnostic classifications the clinician might consider in
assessing the patient.
