A Textbook in Rorschach Test Diagnosis for Psychologists, Physicians and Teachers

The Rorschach test has become, over the years, the major instrument of clinical psychologists engaged in psychodiagnostics. This volume brings to the United States, in translation from the German, much of the foreign literature previously available only in that language. It is a careful presentation of the author's views on the use of the test. While the author chose to present a step-by-step manual, taking the reader through each minute stage of administration, scoring, and interpretation, the completed volume is far from being a beginner's textbook. This is a highly sophisticated and complex presentation which will be welcomed by the initiate, an adjunct to other reading for the novice, and quite beyond the uninitiated. The language of the book is largely made up of "Rorschach vernacular" presented from the particular bias of the author and the translators, who frequently draw direct causal relationships between pathological states and specific Rorschach signs.
