Using actual case material from the psychiatric hospital setting,
the principal setting in which psychological assessments are
conducted, this volume shows how psychological assessment
contributes to the clarification of diagnostic issues and the
development of an optimal treatment plan. Beginning with disorders
usually first evident in infancy, childhood, or adolescence and
ending with the Axis II personality disorders, the book presents an
array of case material to reflect the range of DSM-III-R
categories. Few changes have been made in the original test
materials provided or in the clinical situations presented. The
authors examine the relationship between the psychological
assessments implemented by clinical psychologists and the treatment
planning situation faced by the provider of clinical services. This
volume should be a valuable resource for psychologists,
psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, counsellors, and other
mental health professionals.

comprehensive guide to the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), a
major psychological measuring instrument. The TAT is effective in
telling the clinician how the subject views the self and the world
in his or her unique way. This sweeping introduction to this test
as well as other lesser-known apperceptive techniques considers
children, adolescents, and adults. and gives special attention to
cross-cultural issues and the application of apperception
techniques to minority populations. Additionally, the interesting
history of apperception techniques, sample protocols, and the
administration and interpretation of the tests are included.

In A Practical Guide to the Thematic Apperception Test, long-term experts in projective assessment Edward Aronow, Kim Altman Weiss, and Marvin Reznikoff have created a concise and eminently useful introduction to the use and interpretation of the Thematic Apperception Test. A brief history of apperception techniques and the development of the TAT provides background for subsequent discussion of how to administer the test and interpret the results. The authors present data on the stimulus values of the TAT cards and findings form research on apperceptive techniques, issues of cultural diversity, and alternative apperception methods. Sample protocols illustrate the use of the test in clinical context. This broad coverage and pragmatic approach make the book an important resource for students and practitioners seeking to familiarize themselves with this time-tested tool for psychological assessment.
