Few books illuminate a domain of clinical inquiry as superbly as
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Rorschach. Paul Lerner has
written a comprehensive text that offers a richly detailed,
multidimensional vision of the Rorschach as the ideal medium for
operationalizing, testing, and in some instances transforming
contemporary clinical theory. For psychoanalytic therapists, the
book provides a fascinating overview of how the coevolution of
psychoanalytic theory and Rorschach technique has created new
possibilities for conceptual integration. Lerner explores recent
advances in our ability to operationalize such clinical concepts as
splitting, dissociation, and false-self organization. He then
reviews how these advances have been applied to research into
psychic organization across different diagnostic categories,
including anorexia and bulimia, aggressive and psychopathic
personality, and schizotypal disorders. Finally, Lerner shows how
the resulting data offer a unique vantage point from which to
clarify such critical topics as developmental object relations and
the structure of primitive experience. Rorschach scholars will
appreciate Lerner's informed discussions of theorists as diverse as
Rapaport and Schachtel, Exner and Mayman, Schafer and Leichtman.
Rorschach students, for their part, will find the book an unusually
lucid introduction to test administration, scoring, interpretation,
and report writing. Even here, however, Lerner's breadth and
originality are apparent, for his exposition of these testing
fundamentals incorporates fresh discussions of the nature of the
Rorschach test, the impact of the patient-examiner relationship,
and the value of the test in treatment planning. Timely,
definitive, and uniquely integrative, Psychoanalytic Perspectives
on the Rorschach will be valued by students, clinicians, and
researchers well into the next century.
