Nine men with chronic erectile dysfunction (three primary, six secondary) who had no regular sexual partner were treated in two 12-session all-male psychoeducational therapy groups. Treatment intervention addressed specific factors which inhibited adequate sexual function with a focus on coping skills to overcome those factors. Pre, post, and follow-up behavioral self-report data and responses on a goal attainment scale questionnaire indicated that the treatment groups were successful for five men with secondary and one man with primary erectile dysfunction. Subjective report and pre- and posttreatment fantasy productions to TAT cards for the first group indicated that all men significantly improved their attitudes about sexuality and their sexual self-concept. The results suggest that this is a viable, cost-effective treatment for secondary erectile dysfunction, but not for primary erectile dysfunction unless supplementary individual therapy is provided.

The present study explored sex differences in children's expression and control of fantasy and overt aggression. Fifth-grade boys and girls were presented a TAT-like projective test to measure fantasy aggression and controls over aggression. Overt peer-oriented aggression was measured by peer and teacher ratings. Results indicated that boys were rated more physically and verbally aggressive than girls but not more indirectly aggressive. Boys also produced more physical aggression in fantasy than girls, although the opposite trend was found for indirect aggression; no sex difference was found for verbal fantasy aggression. Finally, girls had a higher ratio of aggression control per total fantasy aggression than boys. The results support the position that while boys, in contrast to girls, are socialized in a way that encourage direct expression of aggression, girls are just as likely to be aggressive as boys when the aggression is indirect. The results are discussed further from the perspective of social learning theory and Maccoby and Jacklin's biological position.

Tumour extracts were obtained from rat Walker 256 carcinoma and examined for the presence of tumour angiogenesis factor (TAF) in vivo before being used in tissue culture experiments. Capillary endothelial cells derived from cow brain white matter were used to study the effects of TAF-containing tumour extracts on cell proliferation in vitro. The cells were grown on two types of substrata: (1) plastic tissue culture dishes and (2) hydrated gels made of rat tail tendon type I collagen. Human platelets or platelet-released factors were introduced into the system because of the many inter-relationships known to exist between platelets, collagen and endothelial cells. If trypsin was used during the preparation of TAT, the resulting batches stimulated endothelial cell proliferation only when the cells were growing on a collagen substratum and either platelets or platelet-released factors were present in the growth medium. If incubation with trypsin was omitted from the TAF extraction procedure, the resulting batches stimulated cell growth both on plastic and on collagen. A synergistic interaction also occurred between these TAF-containing tumour extracts and platelet-released factors. This effect was always more marked when the cells were growing on collagen than when on plastic. These data suggest that the nature of the substratum affects the response of the endothelial cells to TAF and to platelet-released factors.

The purpose of this study was to test Freud's proposition that the sexual drive is dormant during the latency stage. The null hypotheses were that there are no differences in the manifestations of sexual and aggressive drives during the prelatency and latency as well as the latency and postlatency stage groups. Subjects consisted of prelatency (3-5 years), latency (7-9 years), and postlatency (14-16 years) children. There were 180 subjects; 30 boys and 30 girls in each stage group. TAT cards 4, 10, 13MF chosen for sexual content; 3BM, 8BM, and 18GF for aggressive content; and 1, 2, 13B chosen for neutral content were used. Subjects rank ordered these nine cards in order of preference. Chi squares and t-values of Ss' preferences supported the Freudian concept of the latency age. In addition, the data also revealed that the older a child becomes, the less likely he is to show interest in aggressive content material. There was only one significant sex difference. This involved the preference for sexual content material among postlatency boys and girls.

Out of the need for an auxiliary method, that provides a comprehension representation of matrimonial relationships, the classical TAT procedure was modified to an interactional TAT. The question, whether this modified procedure is suitable as a diagnostic tool, was cause to analyse an extremely selected group of persons. The confirmation of hypotheses deducted from theoretical considerations, permits the statement, that the modified TAT procedure (Interactional-TAT) represents a superior instrument in matrimonial therapy. Its particular merit consists in the variability of tables and the various possibilities of adjustment to the special problem, the therapist is faced with.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perception of self and others on the one hand, and milieu complexity on the other. The basic assumption was that comparison of TAT records of two groups of preadolescents living in an urban-industrialized and rural-traditional milieu, respectively, would reveal more interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict in the first group. The TAT stories were analyzed by story sequence analysis. 16 judges rated the sequence on the basis of a number of scales referring to several variables. The criteria developed for the rating were formulated on the basis of five working hypotheses which concerned degree of syntonicity between personal goals and family expectations, perception of human relationships, possibility assumptions as well as degree of involvement in active effort, etc. All hypotheses were supported.

The families of 29 disturbed but nonpsychotic adolescents were observed in a structured task in which they discussed their reactions to viewing themselves interacting on videotape. Measures derived from the Singer-Wynne concenpt of transactional style deviance were applied to the parental behaviors and related to prior assessments of parental communication disorder based on individual parental TAT protocols. The results confirm the Singer-Wynne hypothesis of the cross-situational stability of transactional style deviance. The most striking finding, however, is that an index of positive focusing behavior differentiates more strongly parents of adolescents hypothesized to be at varying leves of risk for schizophrenia than does the measure of transactional style deviance.

Groups of male and female students with high, intermediate, and low scores on Byrne's Scale of Repression-Sensitization judged the amount of hostility and the darkness of 10 TAT cards, including the blank. The groups' judgments for each card were expressed in terms of the statistic E, a non-parametric index of discriminability derived on the basis of the theory of signal detection. Subjects with low scores on the scale showed significantly lower E values for hostility (p less than .05), but not for darkness, than the other two groups. It was concluded that differences in sensitivity to affective stimulation underlie the dimension of Repression-Sensitization.

Subjects rated all pairs of eight TAT cards and ten Rorschach cards for similarity. They were also scored for n-Ach using imagery scoring on stories to TAT cards. Two similarity dimensions were found for the TAT stimuli, identified as number of persons and degree of strong affect. Those high and low on need for achievement for both sexes differed significantly on degree of salience afforded to each dimension, those high weighting the affect dimension more, and those low the person dimension more. Dimensions of the Rorschach found by Wainer et al. (1976) were replicated, but did not discriminate individuals on need for achievement. The results are discussed in terms of the interpretation of the dimensions, the possible relationship of affect to achievement motivation, and the possible practical implications for the use and measurement properties of projective tests.

Parents of schizophrenics show more transactional style deviance in diverse situations than do other parents. In a sample of families of nonschizophrenic outpatient adolescents, a manual for scoring such deviance on stories told for seven TAT cards was developed. This scoring system was shown to be composed of six meaningful factors. When this system was applied to the TAT's of parents of offspring with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses, a total deviance score did not discriminate among the parents. High scores on two particular factors were found only in parents of hospitalized schizophrenics, but four factors were nondiscriminating. Parents of young adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were more likely to show high scores on at least one of these six factors than other parents. Considering the scores of mothers and fathers together yielded the best discrimination of parents of schizophrenia spectrum disorders from other parents.
