Reviews the book, Principles of psychological examining by Frederick C. Thorne (1955). This textbook is designed as a complete guide to psychological diagnosis, based on the author's eclectic approach, and essentially operational in nature. Psychodiagnostic testing is relegated to a relatively minor role; observational and interview techniques are preferred and examined in unusual and useful detail. Part One covers the theory and process of psychological examining; Part Two the study of factors organizing personality integration. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
