The normal controls had `articulated' structures with constructs falling into two independent, but indirectly linked clusters. Their actual-self concepts were isolated from concepts of other people and alienated from the ideal-self. Obsessional patients were found to have predominently `monolithic' conceptual structures, with all constructs clustering around a single direction of meaning. Two original indices are described: one indicates the structure or pattern of construct meanings the other concerns the integration of the concepts of the self relative to concepts of other people and is presented in the form of a two-dimensional self-integration plot. A group of 11 obsessional neurotics were compared to matched normal controls in terms of their personal construct systems.
