Rorschach assessment of adolescents: Theory, research, and practice.

Abstract

This book on Rorschach assessment addresses both the complexities of adolescent development and the intricacies of differentiating between normal and abnormal behavioral manifestations. It examines the developmental considerations of Rorschach use with adolescents, both as a stand-alone instrument and in conjunction with self-report measures. Detailed case studies show the Rorschach method in use with adolescents from different countries across the age group and reflect diverse symptoms. In addition, the new Rorschach Psychoanalytic Science and Practice (RPSP) model endorses the relevance of the method to contemporary practice. Featured coverage includes diagnostic, forensic, and therapeutic applications of Rorschach assessment with adolescents; psychometric properties of the Rorschach; and new normative international data for adolescents. Rorschach Assessment of Adolescents is a must-have resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology, forensic medicine, and assessment, testing, and evaluation.
