Item description from seller

Manual of Instructions for Using the Gottschalk-Gleser Content Analysis Scales: Anxiety, Hostility, and Social Alienation-Personal Disorganization by Louis A. Gottschalk, Carolyn N. Winget, and Goldine C. Gleser provides the definitive guide to a landmark methodology in psychological assessment. This manual lays out in detail the step-by-step coding and scoring procedures that underpin the Gottschalk-Gleser content analysis system, a method for quantifying affective states from verbal behavior. Integrating insights from linguistics, psychiatry, and the behavioral sciences, the book explains the theoretical rationale for the anxiety, hostility, and social alienation-personal disorganization ("schizophrenic") scales, while offering extensive examples, coding rules, and sample tabulations to ensure consistency and reliability across researchers. Designed as both a training resource and reference, the manual provides clear guidelines for preparing verbal samples, training technicians, and ensuring interrater reliability. Beyond technical instruction, it situates content analysis within broader scientific concerns-linking linguistic pragmatics with measurable psychological states-and illustrates its application to clinical interviews, dreams, projective tests, and spontaneous speech. By combining methodological rigor with practical illustrations, the volume enables researchers and clinicians to transform language into quantitative data about affect and psychopathology, securing its lasting place in the toolkit of psychological research and diagnostic evaluation. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1969.
