Series Preface
In the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, we have attempted to provide the reader with books that will deliver key practical information in the most efficient and accessible style. The series features instruments in a variety of domains, such as cognition, personality, education, and neuropsychology. For the experienced clinician, books in the series will offer a concise yet thorough way to master utilization of the continuously evolving supply of new and revised instruments, as well as a convenient method for keeping up to date on the tried-and-true measures. The novice will find here a prioritized assembly of all the information and techniques that must be at ones fingertips to begin the complicated process of individual psychological diagnosis.
Wherever feasible, visual shortcuts to highlight key points are utilized alongside systematic, step-by-step guidelines. Chapters are focused and succinct. Topics are targeted for an easy understanding of the essentials of administration, scoring, interpretation, and clinical application. Theory and research are continually woven into the fabric of each book, but always to enhance clinical inference, never to sidetrack or overwhelm. We have long been advocates of intelligent testing-the notion that a profile of test scores is meaningless unless it is brought to life by the clinical observations and astute detective work of knowledgeable examiners. Test profiles must be used to make a difference in the childs or adults life, or why bother to test? We want this series to help our readers become the best intelligent testers they can be.
In Essentials of TAT and Other Storytelling Assessments, Second Edition, Dr. Hedwig Teglasi links the projective hypothesis, which is the theoretical foundation of all thematic apperceptive techniques, with current constructs in the study of personality. She also contextualizes the clinical use of storytelling techniques within the study of narrative as the language of experience, reflecting individualistic schemas and social information processing. Emphasizing the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the book also covers the Childrens Apperception Test, the Tell-Me-A-Story Test, and the Roberts 2. Specific guidelines, including worksheets and illustrative examples, are provided in each of four areas: Cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and motivational/self-regulatory processes.
