About this title

Synopsis

A revision of the basic text/reference on administering, scoring and interpreting the Rorschach according to the Comprehensive System, now the most widely used approach to the test. It reflects new data generated in research done since the publication of the first edition in 1973. Samples have been enlarged and the descriptive statistics expanded. Chapters on procedures of interpretation now show how interrelationships of variables can be discerned and used to gain information on cognitive processing, perceptual-mediational accuracy and conventionality, the quality of ideation, response styles, issues of control and stress tolerance, responsiveness to affect, and self and interpersonal perceptions.
