“…blunted affect, emotional withdrawal) are associated with impairment of perceptual accuracy. This result was expected, as the PTI1 and 2 criteria are derived from X-% variable, and "[…] high X-% subjects are at risk of self-injurious behaviors, unintentionally harmful to themselves or others, and they are likely to be seen as strange, peculiar, erratic, or incomprehensive […]" (Weiner, 1998). Therefore, the PTI1 and PTI2 variables could represent a valid clinical tool to evaluate the presence of the negative symptoms, especially in the early, often subclinical, stages of psychosis.…”

“…For example, consider the minisequence following her Card IX forest fire response. Recall that was her sole response to Card IX-she pushed the card away, "leaving the field," in Weiner's (1998) terms. It was possible to hypothesize that this was analogous to her need to leave the psychotherapeutic field; that is, her pattern of leaving messages canceling or terminating, when things became more emotionally overwhelming.…”

“…Minisequence-configurational analysis of the Rorschach (Bram & Peebles, 2014;Weiner, 1998) was useful in learning about what strengths and coping or defensive strategies we might draw up to help her recover from moments or episodes of emotional destabilization. For example, consider the minisequence following her Card IX forest fire response.…”

To Resume a Stalled Psychotherapy? Psychological Testing to Understand an Impasse and Reevaluate Treatment Options

Clinical wisdom holds that psychological testing is a useful tool for consultation when there is a need to untangle and resolve a psychotherapeutic impasse. However, there has been a lack of empirical research in this area, and only a few cases have been published demonstrating how psychological testing can be used toward this end. In this article, the author offers a case illustration of the application of testing with a patient who sought to resume psychotherapy following a previous impasse and premature termination. Specific referral questions for the evaluation are explicated followed by discussion of the test data that answered each of them. The findings pointed not only to intrapsychic and object relational characteristics of the patient that contributed to the impasse but, importantly, alerted the author-therapist to his contributions as well. Treatment implications of the findings are also highlighted.

Rorschach Inkblot Method

The Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM) is a psychometrically sound performance‐based personality assessment instrument that consists of 10 inkblots printed individually on 6¾‐ by 9¼‐inch cards. Five of these blots are printed in shades of gray and black; two of the blots are in shades of red, gray, and black; and the remaining three blots are in shades of various pastel colors. The RIM is administered by showing people the cards one at a time and asking them to say what they see in them (“What might this be?”). In a second phase of the examination, respondents are asked to indicate where in the blots they saw each of their percepts and what made the percepts look as they did. The basic premise underlying Rorschach assessment is that how people look at the inkblots says something about how they look at the world, and the way people look at the world says something about the kind of person they are.
