Statistics in Psychiatry by Graham Dunn
The role and importance of measurement in scientific psychiatry is difficult to over-stress. It is a field where there is a fruitful interplay between the ideas typical of the 'medical model' of disease and those coming from the psychometric traditions of, say, educationalists or personality theorists. The style of this important text is problem-based rather then technique-led, thus encouraging thought in the use of statistical techniques, rather than a heavy reliance on formulae.
All the statistical methods presented are explained by using enlightening examples..the standard of the book is high. -- British Journal of Psychiatry The book fulfils a need for dealing with, and discussion of methodology within, psychiatric research and hopefully it may help to put more emphasis on these matters. The book is highly recommended for researchers within psychiatric epidemiology. -- Statistics in Medicine
