Abstract
The application of certain forms of formal logic to the thought processes involved in knowing the other person can result in increasing our understanding of the clinical process and also supply a scientific underpinning for the field. "The logical problem involved in clinical psychology is this: The making of inferences about experiences from overt behavior.".Keywords
