title: Interpretive methodology: some problems, limitations, and remedial strategies.
abstract: Clinical interpretation is difficult and fallible. Basic methodologic problems make errors inevitable in interpretive work. This report reviews some of the major problems and limitations of interpretive methodology, and describes remedial strategies for dealing with them, i.e., "learning from error" by use of error-detecting, error-correcting, and validating procedures.
