Abstract
In this paper I shall discuss certain problems which arise in the theory of diagnosis and argue that there is a case for applying historical methods, as distinguished from scientific methods, as a possible approach towards solving them; and attempt also to show that such an approach may have value for generating research as well as being of practical use in clinical work.Keywords
