Abstract
The diagnostic process is verifiable and communicable and therefore objective. Each student should have a frame of reference which will limit and specify the directions available to the process of diagnostic insight. This frame of reference will include basic psychodynamic theory, test rationale, familiarity with previous findings and self-knowledge. This is the basis on which agreement among competent diagnosticians or in other words objectivity can be established. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
