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.

This book serves as an up-to-date Rorschach primer and elaborates on the various applications of Rorschach assessment for adolescents with respect to differential diagnosis, forensic consultation, and therapeutic assessment. It opens with three chapters that provide readers with a basic overview and introduction to the topics integrated throughout the text. The first reviews the development and foundations of the Rorschach Inkblot Method; the second discusses key issues in the assessment of adolescents, with particular attention to differentiating patterns of psychopathology from normal developmental variations; and the third presents general considerations in using performance-based assessment instruments in the assessment of personality functioning in adolescence. Later chapters explore the current status of the Rorschach Inkblot Method with respect to theoretical formulations, research findings, and practice guidelines. The final chapter draws on information in the preceding chapters to present a model for Rorschach assessment of adolescents. This model is designed to facilitate accurate and useful formulations of personality functioning that contribute substantially to advancing responsible adolescent development.

First Published in 1987. The Rorschach method since its creation in 1921 has gradually come to dominate the field of projective techniques in both the United States and Europe. Along with the Thematic Apperception and the Szondi tests, it is among the most widely used tools in clinical psychiatry, where it contributes to the understanding of personality patterns and to the evaluation of degrees of mental disorder. This book written by Dr. Zygmunt A. Piotrowski, who is an outstanding pioneer worker in the field of perceptanalysis, having spent twenty-two years of active research endeavor to elucidate the various problems. The material is well organized and lucidly presented in a way to enable the student as well as the more mature clinicians to understand many details not available previously in Rorschach publications. In fact, we have here the most complete book yet written on perceptanalysis as a science. The text explains in a concrete, step-by-step fashion the process of the examination in terms of the administration of the test; the basic principles of scoring, which are so fundamentally important; the determinant components of form, human movement, nonhuman-movement, color, and shading responses; and the meaning of the content.
