Abstract

A review of client assessment issues is presented within the context of pro‐ and anti‐assessment influences. Shortcomings are identified in both formulations, particularly in the failure of their proponents to take full cognizance of the complex intertwining of scientific and philosophic components in assessment. A multivariate research paradigm is posited. Implications of the presented conceptualization for counseling practice are discussed.
