商品簡介
Provides a primer on the application of scientific logic to professional psychological practice, demonstrating how scientific reliance on aggregate data can be reconciled with the unique and immediate demands of the clinic. Part I examines the history of the science-practice debate in professional psychology, and Part II looks at issues in the philosophy of science, research design, and quantitative analysis. Part III deals with nontraditional science and scholarship, with chapters on qualitative analysis, and critical thinking and the clinical scientist. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
