A good, strong set of of one of the most famous and widely used sets of psychological diagnostic tools. The inkblot tests themselves pre-date the publication of Beck's interpretation system by several decades, mainly due to the fact that no single medical body could agree on the metrics of interpretation, despite the tests being in wide usage. It wasn't until Beck published his "Basic Processes" in 1944 that some measure of uniformity was achieved, and the test achieved the form in which it is implemented today. Complete sets are scarce in commerce. 4th Prtg; 4th Prtg; 5th Prtg. [Cards 1st Prtg.].
