xiii, 210 p.; 24 cm.
Summary
  • Focusing only on adolescents, covering both the TAT and the Rorschach, and utilizing object relations theory as its major interpretive foundation. The Assessment of Object Relations Phenomena in Adolescents offers practitioners an alternative to general references based on a more actuarial, nomothetic, and atheoretical interpretive approach.
  • It reflects one school of contemporary thought in projective assessment - one that advocates a more phenomenological, theory-based approach to test application and interpretation.
