TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of homework assignment on therapy outcome by assigning 63 carefully diagnosed unipolar depressives to one of two otherwise identical 10-week cognitive therapy conditions, only one of which utilized weekly homework assignments.

TL;DR: In this article, a system of 45 content categories for analyzing personal constructs elicited in the context of a repertory grid administration is presented, which are divided into six basic areas: moral, emotional, relational, personal, intellectual/operational, and values/interests.

TL;DR: Of the types of cognitive conflict studied, implicative dilemmas were the only ones to discriminate between clinical and nonclinical samples and their relationship to symptom severity (SCL-90-R).

TL;DR: These studies, though preliminary (and with a small group size in some cases), yield a promising perspective to the unexplored area of the role of cognitive conflicts as an issue to consider when trying to understand some clinical conditions, as well as a focus to be dealt with in psychotherapy when dilemmas are identified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability and convergence of several measures of cognitive structure derived from grids, including intensity, percentage of variance accounted for by the first component, cognitive complexity, ordination, extremity of ratings, self-ideal discrepancy, and self-other discrepancy, as well two measures of rating stability, construct consistency and factor loading consistency, were studied.
