The schizophrenic diathesis and the kibbutz.

In this article, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) "Israeli High Risk Study," which extended over two decades and compared the relative effects of kibbutz and city environments on the diathesis of schizophrenia, is critically examined. Comparison data on personality and cognitive functions of groups of 11- to 16-year-olds and adults are reviewed in the light of previously published material. The apparent shifts in level of adjustment of kibbutz and city subjects, as well as the allegedly greater incidence of pathology in the kibbutz index group, are questioned on methodological grounds.

The Sentence Completion Method--recent research.

The present article reviews recent work with the Sentence Completion Method (SCM) and examines the method's effectiveness as an assessment instrument. Studies in which the SCM was employed in testing hypotheses concerning personality and its development, as well as reports that deal with maladaptive functioning and psychopathology are covered. Also reviewed is some work that investigates the nature of the method itself. The overall conclusion is that the SCM is flexible, readily adaptable in various research and clinical settings, and to be recommended for continuing use and application.
