Synopsis

Providing clinicians with thematic tests for children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, this work focuses on the thematic apperception test (TAT). Attention is given to a standard method of administration, a standard sequence of 10 cards, and a standard method of scoring. The authors demonstrate how to elicit elaborate stories for the TAT, CAT and SAT tests, to facilitate a more in-depth diagnostic assessment. Additionally, they provide clinical examples and scoring protocols which proceed through a step-by-step process of using thematic tests to evaluate the main components of an individual's personality. This edition has a chapter which shows clinicians how to balance the importance of age, gender and cultural norms when using thematic tests.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This book has been the leading work on administering and interpreting thematic tests for children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly for over forty years. In this Sixth Edition, Bellak and Abrams bring a new level or clarity and scientific consistency to diagnostic assessment with the T.A.T. Much attention is given to a standard method of administration, a standard T.A.T. sequence of ten cards, and a standard method of scoring. The authors demonstrate how to elicit rich, elaborate stories for the T.A.T., C.A.T., and S.A.T. that facilitate a more in-depth diagnostic assessment. Additionally, the authors provide an abundance of clinical examples and scoring protocols that take the reader step-by-step through the process of using thematic tests to evaluate the main components of an individual's personality. Of special interest in this Sixth Edition is a new chapter that shows clinicians how to balance the importance of age, gender, and cultural norms when using thematic tests.
