Περίληψη:
We investigated the factorial composition as well as the demographic,
anamnestic and clinical correlates of 13 features of delusional beliefs
in a sample of 127 psychiatric inpatients with active delusions at the
time of their assessment: Six factors were extracted, jointly accounting
for 67.3% of the variance, which were interpreted as the dimensions of
cognitive disintegration, volitional dyscontrol, doxastic strength,
distress, incongruence and expansiveness, respectively. Moreover, most
factors exhibited distinctive profiles of demographic, anamnestic or
clinical correlates. Overall, our findings provide supportive evidence
for both the clinical multidimensionality of delusional beliefs at the
factor-analytic level and the - at least partial - external validity of
the factorial solution obtained, Copyright (C) 2000 S.Karger AG, Basel.
