This book is certain to stimulate debate in the research and scientific communities. Its forward-looking perspective takes great strides toward promoting a common cognitive-linguistic model of how the judgment of quality occurs, thereby contributing important conceptual and empirical tools to its varied applications, including QoL assessment.
Ivan Barofsky is a former President of the International Society of Quality of Research. He is a retired Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
