Nominated for a 2018 Gradiva Award for Best Book by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis, Using Projective Methods with Children is an enhanced synthesis of Steve Tuber’s previously published research on the study of projective methods to assess the representations of self and others, as well as the actual interpersonal experiences children internalize in the form of these representations. Integrating conceptual and empirical work, with an emphasis on the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM), the book offers unique, evidence-based information on the importance of assessing particular aspects of a child’s inner self. The studies cover a broad range of topics such as dreams, anxiety disorders, political oppression, homelessness, and multiculturalism, and each is supplemented with an analytical introduction. A section that discusses future areas of research is also included.

The two volumes of the Handbook of Psychological and Educational Assessment of Children, Second Edition, cover all aspects of child and adolescent assessment. Leading clinical scientists summarize the state of the science of assessment paradigms, instruments, and methods.

Conveniently designed for reference or text use, this vast knowledge base has been synthesized into two volumes which may be purchased separately or together. INTELLIGENCE, APTITUDE, AND ACHIEVEMENT surveys assessment of intelligence, learning styles, and academic achievement; covers historical issues and psychometric methods; and addresses diversity issues, ethical concerns, and special topics in mental testing.

Rorschach with Children shows the use of Rorschach test as an aid in clinical diagnoses of children. Other tools of clinical analysis as well as different projective techniques are described in the book as a point of comparison. The book also provides a short description of the scoring categories used for the interpretation of the result of the test. A section of the book is devoted to the discussion of the theories underlying the concept of projections. The book begins with some historical background of psychology with emphasis on the different psycho analytical tools that were used at the time. This section is followed by categories that classify certain projective techniques. The personalities who started some of these projective techniques along with some illustrations of the pictures used for projections are found in the book. The book will be a valuable tool for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, students, and researchers in the field of psychology.

As every child therapist knows, the hardest part of helping resistant children is engaging them in therapy. Their anger on the surface, fear underneath, difficulty expressing themselves verbally, and inability to trust interfere with establishing a therapeutic relationship. Dr. David Crenshaw developed projective techniques to overcome all of these obstacles. He found common themes and used them to design drawing and storytelling techniques to engage children in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. Dr. Crenshaw developed these techniques for engaging resistant children during over three decades of observing play and fantasy productions of angry, defiant and anxious children. But you don't have to spend three decades developing these techniques. Dr. Crenshaw's directives for the Child's Drawing and Storytelling activities are clearly described along with follow-up questions or issues for the therapist to consider in the first in a series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebook Series.This first uidebook, pictured above, explains in detail how to use ten original projective drawing and storytelling strategies with angry, defiant, oppositional, and anxious children to engage them in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. The stories consist of:·THE MISUNDERSTOOD MOUSE ·THE WHAT IF ALRUS ·ALL THE ANIMALS LISTEN WHEN THE WISE OLE OWL SPEAKS ·THE TREE ON TOP OF THE HILL ·BLOW-UP BERNIE ·THE BALLISTIC STALLION ·BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR ·THE BUMBLE BEE WHO OULDN'T STOP STINGING ·THE ANIMAL THAT NOBODY WANTS TO HUG ·THE PIGLET THAT DIDN'T FIT These strategies are very practical and usable ways to engage 7-12 year-old kids in therapy who don¿t want to talk, don't want to play!"This book is Volume One in a Series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebooks to be published by the Rhinebeck Child and Family Center Publications. The Guidebooks will phasize practical and clinically useful techniques that the busy practitioner can easily incorporate into their work in the child or family therapy room. The series editor John B. Mordock, Ph.D., ABPP, has published extensively on child and family therapy topics over his distinguished career. The Guidebooks will contain contributions from other experienced child and family therapists as well as from Dr. Crenshaw.

First published in 1988. Child therapists have long been fascinated by children's human figure drawings and what they reveal about self-image, feelings, and' family relation­ ships. Now this comprehensively researched volume provides a valuable introduction to using children's human figure drawings as projective measures in a variety of settings. The principles for interpreting drawings, as well as general and specific indicators, are illustrated in 85 children's drawings. Part I on The Theory deals with the background of projective psychology, discussing art as a projective technique and emphasizing that all behavior, including drawings, reflects personality, attitudes and values. The authors examine the major methods of obtaining diagnostic information and recommend the use of several methods for best results. Part II on The Application examines in detail the projective use of children's human figure drawings to evaluate personality, relationships (particularly in families), group values, and attitudes. In each area, research is presented, directions for administration of various tests are given, and guidelines for interpretation are offered. Significant factors are revealed in numerous children's drawings, accompanied by clinical comments. Of special interest is the presentation of original research on group values among Canadian Indian (Saskatchewan Cree) children and on attitudes of young children toward teachers, doctors and other authority figures as revealed in human figure drawings. For psychologists, social workers, teachers and other child-care professionals, as well as students in these fields, this is an indispensable basic guide to interpreting human figure drawings.
