The unstated problem in a psychological testing referral
Abstract
There is a manifest and a latent content to many psychological testing refereals. Although a diagnostic problem is usually the stated reason for the referral, the unstated and more basic reason frequently has to do with problems the therapist is encountering in attempting to deal with a difficult treatment situation. The testing psychologist who responds at the manifest level alone may not help and at times may even be a hindrance.
