✦ Synopsis
This is a collection of over 50 of the most significant papers of the recent literature relating to all aspects of the clinical method in psychology. The author is to be commended for his astuteness in making a genuinely eclectic presentation of the most significant contributions in the field. Part one consists of six papers discussing the nature of the clinical method as applied to clinical psychology. Part two includes nine papers describing the functions of clinical psychologists in a variety of different installations. Part three on diagnosis in clinical psychology includes 19 papers discussing all of the principal methods authoritatively. Part four consists of 19 papers presenting modern methods of counseling and psychotherapy. The general orientation of the book is distinctively psychological in the sense that the contributors are all psychologists rather than psychiatrists or psychoanalysts. To be recommended as the most comprehensive teaching and reference text in the field today.
