The Practice of Clinical Psychology
0 - Default Title
Description
This book does not attempt to report all the significant work that has been done in its field of reference, but only to epitomize my actual practice in clinical psychology. A number of significant studies and some important clinical techniques may have been omitted; but those selected for discussion and criticism are known from personal application. Hence what this text may lack in width of reference it gains through firsthand knowledge. It has a practical rather than a scholarly aim.
A long period spent in the psychological examination of subjects, ranging from gifted members of the white race to the Australian aborigines and the African Bushmen, has established in my mind some very definite opinions regarding the value of certain approaches to the study of the human personality. These opinions, however, though expressed with some degree of authority, avoid, I hope, any air of dogmatism. They must be interpreted merely as one man's experience, which of course may differ from that of others in the field.
The inclusion of certain material, notably the chapter on the biological basis of clinical psychology, may seem to some to be of questionable value, but the hypotheses contained therein have been essential to my own thinking.
The late Dr. Mary Hunter wrote part of the chapter on the examination of young children and the section that deals with the Rorschach test. Her untimely death prevented her further participation in this project.
Dr. Colin J.Herrick kindly contributed Chapter XVII (excluding the appendix), which deals with the diagnosis of reading disabilities. This collaboration is gratefully appreciated.
