Overview
The Rorschach is perhaps the most famous psychological instrument of all time, yet its purpose and utility are often misunderstood. In this primer, James P. Choca and Edward D. Rossini demonstrate the Rorschach's value to modern psychology as an essential clinical tool for assessing clients' thought processes and translate their expertise into fundamental strategies for administering, scoring, and interpreting the test, as well as writing reports.
In addition to surveying the two primary Rorschach scoring systems, they propose their own innovative system, the Basic Rorschach, which streamlines the assessment process by analyzing only the most clinically meaningful variables.
This versatile, four-step framework bolstered by advanced interpretation strategies helps clinicians look beyond a client's scores to more deeply understand the person behind them.
The authors also propose a shorter, four-card Rorschach test that is more accessible in some situations, yet still clinically valid.

More recently he created the Emotional Assessment System, a measure of disorders in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
His interest in the evaluations of Hispanics recently led to his working in Chile, Argentina, and Spain.

Reviews and Awards
Finally a book about the Rorschach for use in everyday clinical practice. Assessment Using the Rorschach Inkblot Test presents a welcome antidote to generations of cumbersome scoring systems. Written in an accessible style, it provides cogent instruction on administration, person-centered interpretation, and communicating findings in test reports.

Choca and Rossini have developed a timely and time efficient Rorschach technique that is clear, concise, and accessible.

In casual, lighthearted, and easy-to-read prose, Choca and Rossini rely on their years of clinical acumen with the Rorschach to propose modifications of the two dominant systems in use today to help clinicians simplify administration, coding, and interpretation and find "the person behind the scores."

This is an important book for all assessment psychologists. The most critical feature is that it will make any professional reader think carefully about the Rorschach. It is a major step in Rorschach research.

Good things come in small packages. This is a fecund, low Lambda gem: brief but richly variegated, economical yet erudite, utterly saturated with blended wisdom. Unafraid of rocking the boat, necessarily wrestling with Cronbach's Ghost (achieving a partial takedown), Choca and Rossini present an alternate, abbreviated four-card procedure (nicknamed "Herm," of course). This is a go-to guide for anyone who wishes to give the Rorschach a 21st-century makeover. Choca and Rossini will enliven your Erlebnistyp!
