"This book is written expressly for those who, for whatever reason, seek to supplement the intuitive knowledge of personality that they already have. The book represents an attempt to integrate the author's personal experience in what he conceives to be the specialty of clinical psychology. It will be apparent at the outset that he has leaned heavily on what is usually called the psychodynamic approach, and that his debt is very great to Freud and Jung and their followers (although many of the latter might find his major theses strange doctrine indeed). The work of Murray and Rorschach and Klopfer is basic to the present undertaking. Their dynamic approach to clinical problems represents, in the author's opinion, the extractions from psychoanalytic theory which have the most evaluative significance for the psychologist. The attempt has been made to write this book at about the level of the college junior, who has had at least a year of general psychology. Usually the student who takes clinical psychology is already specializing; he is likely to be planning a career in psychological work. Despite this fact, it has been assumed that such a course would be of value also to the prospective physician, to the personnel consultant, the guidance counselor, or the psychiatrist, and the book has been written with these students much in mind"--Preface.
