The Clinical Method in Psychology

This book was first published fourteen years ago in the United States and one ponders why it is now produced for the British market. One supposes that the pub-lshers must believe that psychology is at least fourteen years behind in Britain c?mpared to the United States and that they hope for a market for the book here. At the time when it was published in the U.S.A. this book was a fairly good review the clinical method in psychology, although perhaps a trifle wordy. Now, however, !* is quite out of date and does not even mention the relatively new Stanford Binet L-M version nor the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Nor, of course, does book include any of the literature on Wechsler's other scales, which has appeared in the last fourteen years, so the chapter on Wechsler's scales is largely pointless. It might have been an improvement if the book had begun with children "istead of adults, for then the bearing of both theory and diagnostic evidence of the early years might have been related to the theory and diagnostic evidence about fdults. Even if it had no bearing or logical connection to show, this in itself would 'ave been a matter of importance.
