Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Clinical and Abnormal Psychology: A textbook for Educators, Psychologists and Mental Hygiene workers by J.E. Wallin . The author has very decided views as to what clinical psychology is, what it should attempt to do and what the proper training for a clinical psychologist should be. Drawing from his long and wide experience as a clinical psychologist, his book is packed with information of value. The author has attempted to omit no detail and hence at times the general presentation is spoiled. He has evidently a penchant for technical terms, and so we meet rhotacism, lambdacism, dysarthria, aphemia, echopraxia, hemianaesthesia and many others, not to mention flocks of "hypos" and "hypers."
