Title: Statistics Trauma
Review: Many graduate students in the social sciences (at least in my era) were forced to suffer through this awful text. While in his introduction Hays claims to want to reach the less mathematically inclined with his book, his indecipherable, dense prose has led many graduate students into intensive psychotherapy. Just ask any clinical psychology student of the 60s, 70s, and 80s what they think of this book, and you will hear moans, their heads will shake, and they may even shake involuntarily. I hope that current graduate students in the social sciences are still not being subjected to this Haysian torture device!
