	Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 150 words of the full text PDF and any section headings.

THE ARTICLE by Horowitz et al¹ in this issue of the ARCHIVES is intended to introduce a complex procedure of personality assessment, the role-relationship method, to a wide and varied readership. Horowitz et al give a glimpse of the scientific and theoretical background of this approach, present a single example of how this approach is used, and finally give a brief summary of a novel program to assess the reliability and validity of this procedure. Since all these sections are intended to be introductory, none is detailed enough to provide a basis for a systematic clinical or scientific critique. Rather, in the spirit of this contribution, it is more productive to consider the article itself as a configuration of carefully arranged parts and to examine this configuration of clinical ideas and procedures as a whole.
