Following on from Lauterbach's technique for assessing psychological conflict in triads of concepts, a similar method of conflict analysis is applied to personal constructs. A computer program designed to analyse both ‘ranked’ and ‘graded’ grids has been developed and the steps in this program, together with a description of the output, is delineated. The potential value of this form of analysis in both research and clinical practice is suggested and illustrative examples given.
