The psychoanalytic concept of Personality Organization (PO) may be operationalized by means of a Structural Interview as well as by means of psychological tests. The present study utilized the Structural Interview and a projective test called the Defence Mechanism Test (DMT) to operationalize the PO concept on a sample of 50 psychiatric inpatients. The reliability of the PO judgements were found to be acceptable for both the Structural Interview and the DMT. The validity, which was estimated as the correlation between the two methods, was also found to be substantial. The conclusion is that the concept of PO may be reliably operationalized for psychiatric patients and seems to have concurrent validity. Both the DMT and the Structural Interview may be used for differential diagnosis of PO.
人格组织（PO）的精神分析概念可以通过结构化访谈以及心理测试来进行操作化。本研究利用结构化访谈和一种名为防御机制测试（DMT）的投射测试，对50名精神科住院患者的样本进行人格组织概念的操作化。结果发现，结构化访谈和DMT的PO判断可靠性均可接受。通过两种方法之间的相关性来估计的效度也很高。结论是，PO概念可以可靠地应用于精神科患者，并且似乎具有同时效度。DMT和结构化访谈均可用于PO的鉴别诊断。
