From the reviews: "Communimetrics: A Communication Theory of Measurement in Human Service Settings is a text describing the historical aspects of communimetrics as well as its current state, application, and supporting data. It is the first book-length discussion on communimetrics and ... sets a comparative standard for all future writing on the topic. ... I would recommend this text for anyone primarily interested in psychological measurement. Those interested in finding ways to categorize complex human behaviors will also find this text interesting." (James J. Jakubow, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (3), January, 2010)
