Description

Most of the contributions to this volume are based on talks given at a workshop organized by the Applied Psychology Research Group (APRG) based at London University. The aim of the APRG is to facilitate psychological research of relevance to problems outside the psychological enclave. The intention of the book is to provide a guide to the practical applications of microcomputers. It is aimed at psychiatrists and clinical psychologists and others who are considering using micros in psychological assessment and therapy.
