The children's apperception test evaluation form: initial data.

Some indexes and variables of the Children's Apperception Test Evaluation Form were used to evaluate children's thematic apperception stories to Bellak's test. The protocols were scored for four indexes: (1) number of words, (2) number of characters (animals) rightly identified, (3) number of modified characters (animals), (4) number of attributions given to the characters (animals) in the stories. The form was also scored for number and types of conflicts evoked in children. Interscorer relilability coefficients were high for all the indexes and variables. The sample included 70 children ages 4.5 to 11.5 yr. The relationship between scores and age and sex was also investigated.

Special education placements of language-disordered children in a psychiatric population.

Children evaluated by an interdisciplinary team that provided data on psychiatric disturbance, language handicaps, and psychoeducational assessment were placed in special education classes following the complete evaluation. Discriminant analysis as a special case of multiple regression analysis determined that mean reading achievement score, pre-evaluation classroom placement, and to a lesser degree, Performance IQ predicted classroom placement. Overall, correct classroom predictions approached 90 percent. These findings highlight the value of interdisciplinary evaluation to educators and mental health professionals.

Predictability of speech and language in Nigerian patients with psychosis: a controlled study.

The aim of this study was to assess the predictability of speeches of Nigerian patients with psychosis compared with healthy controls and to examine the factors correlating with the speeches of patients with psychosis. The speeches of 52 patients with psychosis (schizophrenia = 22, depression with psychosis = 16, mania with psychosis = 14) and 52 matched healthy controls were examined using the Cloze technique. The speeches of patients with psychosis were significantly less predictable than those of healthy controls. The presence of formal thought disorder and the diagnosis of schizophrenia showed significant correlations with the poor predictability of the speeches of patients with psychosis. The impairment of speeches of patients with psychosis cut across cultures. Further research will be needed to determine if predictability of speech can be of use in the diagnosis of psychiatric patients.
