Practical Guide to the Thematic Apperception Test

by Edward Aronow

"In A Practical Guide to the Thematic Apperception Test, Edward Aronow, Kim Altman Weiss, and Marvin Reznikoff have created a concise and useful introduction to the use and interpretation of the Thematic Apperception Test. A brief history of apperception techniques and the development of the TAT provides background for subsequent discussion on how to administer the test and interpret the results. The authors present data on the stimulus value of the TAT cards and findings from research on apperceptive techniques, issues of cultural diversity, and alternative apperceptive methods. Sample protocols illustrate the use of the test in clinical context. This broad coverage and pragmatic approach make the book an important resource for students and practitioners seeking to familiarize themselves with this time-tested tool for psychological assessment."--Jacket.
