Summary:

"This book is of interest to three groups--psychologists, sociologists, and educators--who are jointly concerned with the problems herein discussed. First of all, it serves the student of psychology who wishes to become better acquainted with the applications that diagnostic psychology can make in these four important fields of human endeavor. It is also of interest to sociologists in its survey of the principles of social diagnosis which is their special province. Educators, too, will find that the principles of diagnosis and individual study described here are central to a concerted attack on the problems of social reconstruction, now recognized as increasingly the task of education. It is the thesis of this book that any study of the individual should begin while the child is in school. The annotated list of tests, scales, and questionnaires at the end of the book may be of service to those who wish a ready reference to the instruments now available"--Preface.
