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.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
