| Summary |
"The writing of this book was undertaken because the author believes that visual models are as effective as words or numbers for integrating knowledge. The volume summarizes several years of intensive work with case-history material in psychopathology devoted mainly to bringing some semblance of order out of the welter of recorded facts, interpretations, and special terminology which characterize the case-history method. In the course of his work the author gradually developed a conceptual and visual framework useful for analyzing case histories, which seemed to make more comprehensible to himself and students the intricacies of abnormality. Starting originally with an attempt to visualize the dynamic relationships implied in a single case history, the analysis finally progressed to the form of paradigms which stand generally for ranges of abnormality. The next stage in the development of the work required defining and describing each element in the diagrams by means of theoretical constructs drawn from abnormal and general psychology. The final step was to relate the constructs which had emerged to some general system of psychology"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
