This special issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology comprises six theoretical papers that are concerned with the interconnected topics of scientific method, abductive inference, and clinical reasoning. The first four papers deal with the nature and limitations of a broad abductive theory of scientific method, and its application to clinical reasoning and case formulation. These are followed by three papers which in turn consider the prospects of using explanatory criteria to appraise competing models of psychopathy, examine the merits of a number of different psychometric perspectives on the assessment of psychopathology, and reject a core supposition of the orthodox approach to hypothesis testing.
《临床心理学杂志》的这一特刊包含六篇理论论文，这些论文关注科学方法、溯因推理和临床推理等相互关联的主题。前四篇论文探讨了广义溯因科学方法理论的本质与局限性，及其在临床推理和病例形成中的应用。随后的三篇论文依次探讨了使用解释标准评估不同的精神病态模型的前景，审视了在精神病理学评估中多种不同心理测量视角的优点，并摒弃了正统假设检验方法的一个核心假设。
