[The need for indications also for psychodiagnostic tests in psychopathology].
In the discussion of a work by Wolfram and Nickel the necessity of establishing an indication with respect to the diagnosis also for psychological test procedures is dealt with. In cases of the whole personality -- e. g. alcoholism, schizophrenia, etc. -- efficiency tests offer no possibility to make an essential contribution to the diagnosis of the damage structure. They test individual functions, the results are static and cannot give any information about the dynamics of the development especially in the attitude towards the environment, and the resulting symptoms. Thus they do not bring any advantages for the development of experimental psychodiagnois in psychopathology.
