This book on Rorschach assessment addresses both the complexities of adolescent development and the intricacies of differentiating between normal and abnormal behavioral manifestations. It presents the theory, research, and basic practices of Rorschach assessment and examines the developmental considerations for its use with adolescents, both as a stand-alone instrument and in conjunction with self-report measures. The book's collection of detailed case studies shows the Rorschach method in use with adolescents from different countries across the age group and reflects diverse symptoms. In addition, the new Rorschach Psychoanalytic Science and Practice (RPSP) model endorses the relevance of the method to contemporary practice.

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.
