It was the author's announced intention to prepare a clinical handbook in which test behaviors could be categorized for the facilitation of differential diagnosis in schizophrenia. The book is addressed to graduate students in psychology and the practicing clinician to provide them with various psychodiagnostic guidelines, and these aims have been realized. This is a long overdue book into which Dr. Weiner has invested prodigious labor leavened by scholarship and a sound clinical perspective. He approaches the complex problems of differential diagnosis in schizophrenia from a theoretical and normative standpoint, supplemented by case illustrations and lavish documentation derived from experimental studies.

Psychiatrists may find this work too technical, but its precise delineation of the psychologist's synthesizing operations is instructive. An exhaustive bibliography and a good index round out a significant contribution.
