PM 601—Projective Methods 2: Interpretation Strategies using the Rorschach and Other Projective Tests

Prerequisites: PM 600—Projective Methods 1

This course is a continuation of PM 600 and is designed to give students the ability to learn the basics of Rorschach interpretation and how to communicate the Rorschach findings into clear jargon-free clinically useful feedback.   The course will present strategies for interpretation using the Comprehensive System.  Specific protocols will be presented to facilitate a deeper appreciation of cluster analysis and thematic interpretation.   Additional projective methods, which are currently used in assessment batteries, will be presented.  These include: The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the TEMAS (Tell Me A Story), and Figure Drawings. The course will focus on interpretation of projective material in child, adolescent, and adult cases.
