Levitt's critique (see 37: 8096) indicates that he missed the main point of the paradigm, and that he misinterpreted a variety of other matters. An effort is made to clarify the issues involved by citing sections of the original article and by further discussion when necessary. Particular emphasis is placed upon the paradigm as a method for testing theories of psychopathology which assume genotypic-phenotypic relationships. The need for proper control groups is reiterated, and the paradigm is viewed as an attempt to bring the data of clinical and experimentat methods closer into congruence.
