Review of Student Guidance Techniques

Abstract

Reviews the book, Student Guidance Techniques by D. G. Paterson, G. G. Schniedler and E. G. Williamson (see record 1938-02131-000 ), stating that the subtitle, "A Handbook for Counselors," is a better characterization than the chosen title itself. The major portion of the book is devoted to the description of various tests. The authors do not propose to present a complete catalog of available tests, but a rather select list, selected on a basis of validity and utility. The last four chapters take up a discussion of diagnosis and handling of educational problems, vocational problems, personnel problems, and guidance as a professional service.
