Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena takes the reader beyond
where James H. Kleiger's original work, Disordered Thinking and the
Rorschach, left off. This new book offers readers a number of
conceptual bridges between Rorschach characteristics commonly
associated with psychotic phenomena and a range of psychological,
neurocognitive, and psychoanalytic constructs that help
psychologists move beyond static, test-bound interpretations of
scores and indices. Beginning with a broad-based understanding of
disordered thinking and reality testing, Kleiger provides an
updated review of the contributions of past Rorschach luminaries
and contemporary figures who have helped make the Rorschach a
robust tool for assessing aspects of psychotic-level experience.
The contributions of major figures are highlighted and assessed in
terms of their empirical, conceptual, and practical implications.
In addition to providing a balanced, respectful review of each of
these leading figures and the systems they developed, Kleiger
offers a new way of organizing and conceptualizing what is
currently understood about Rorschach scoring variables pertaining
to psychotic phenomena. Kleiger's aim is to help Rorschach
practitioners not only consolidate their grasp of key scoring
variables and what each means about an individual's thought
processes and internal experiences, but also expand their clinical
understanding of the psychotic phenomena being assessed. He
includes a wide range of psychotic phenomena, like negative
symptoms, cognitive impairment, magical thinking, and impairment of
insight, all of which are subjects of diagnostic interest when
using the Rorschach with psychotically prone individuals. The final
section on psychopathology looks at how the Rorschach is useful in
differential diagnosis of primary psychoses and those conditions
that may include secondary psychotic phenomena. In step with
contemporary DSM-5 standards, Kleiger organizes his discussion of
severe psychopathology in a manner consistent with how psychotic
phenomena are currently understood in the clinical and scientific
literature. In addition to reviewing key clinical characteristics
of these conditions, along with Rorschach contributions to the
diagnosis of these disorders, he also focuses his lens on the
Rorschach assessment of malingered psychosis and psychotic
phenomena in children and adolescents. Written with the same
well-researched attention to detail and integrative style as
Kleiger's earlier work, Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena
will prove invaluable to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and
psychoanalysts interested in understanding and assessing psychosis.
