"I remain deeply impressed with the continued relevance of this classic work. Weiner's Psychodiagnosis in Schizophrenia still provides graduate students and practicing clinicians the most systematic and comprehensive approach to the assessment of schizophrenia. Throughout, Weiner brilliantly reveals the art of being a psychodiagnostician. He formulates hypotheses based upon test data, history, behavioral observations, and a formidable knowledge of the literature on schizophrenia to arrive at diagnostic judgments....explores issues that are pertinent to the contemporary diagnostician and are likely to continue to be critical in assessing schizophrenia and other severe psychopathological states. I believe that this work will continue to serve as a guide for future generations of psychologists in the practice of psychodiagnosis and be viewed as one of the pivotal works responsible for the re-emergence of the Rorschach as a necessary diagnostic instrument."—Journal of Personality Assessment
