For a number of years (10?) research at Royal Park hospital and Early
Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre at Parkville in Melbourne have
used grids to look at the 'integration' or 'sealing' over of psychotic
patients. Some is this is used in a paper I wrote with Pat McGorry 'The
analysis of repertory grids used to monitor the perceptions of recovering
psychotic patients' published in European Perspectives in Personal
Construct Psychology, selected papers from the inaugural conference of the
EPCA York, England, 1992 (edited by Alan Thomson & Peter Cummins).
