“…When used appropriately the RIM is both admissible (McCann, 1998) and well accepted for federal, state, military, and appellate court proceedings. In light of these findings, it is reasonable to conclude that the RIM is also appropriate for legal proceedings in schools (Yalof et al, 2001).…”

“…The Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM) provides important information for understanding the emotional, social, and cognitive functioning (e.g., Exner, 2003;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001;Weiner, Spielberger, & Abeles, 2002) of children and adolescents (Exner & Erdberg, 2005;Lunardi, 1999;Pierce & Penman, 1998;Socket, 1998;Yalof, Abraham, Domingos, & Socket, 2001). Although the Rorschach is frequently used by clinical psychologists (43%), less than 24% of school psychologists surveyed utilize the instrument (Stinnett, Havey, & Oehler-Stinnett, 1994).…”

In this article we examine the current status of Rorschach assessment. School psychologists are provided with an introduction to the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM), the types of information that the test provides, and guidelines for evaluating the RIM. We also address criticisms that have served to discourage the use of the RIM. When administered, coded, and interpreted within guidelines provided by Exner's Comprehensive System, the Rorschach clearly meets ethical and professional standards for psychological test usage. The RIM can provide unique and important information concerning the emotional and social functioning of children and adolescents that aids in developing individualized educational programming including behavior intervention plans.

“…The RIM is a problem-solving task that provides important information for understanding the emotional, social, and cognitive functioning (Exner, 2003; Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001) of children and adolescents (Exner & Erdberg, 2005; Lunardi, 1999; Pierce & Penman, 1998; Socket, 1998; Yalof, Abraham, Domingos & Socket, 2001). For example, high or low Lambda levels have been associated with aggressive behavior in youth (Exner & Weiner, 1995).…”

This study provides Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM) and Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL: YV) descriptive data for a sample (N = 63) of conduct-disordered (CD) male adolescents in an alternative education school setting. The research is based upon the doctoral dissertation completed by Talkington in 2009. Results indicate that, while the Rorschach protocols of these youth accurately reflect the cognitive and emotional impoverishment of the group (IQ = M = 76.79; R = M = 16.34; Lambda = M = 1.13), their constriction makes them less useful for differentiation based on psychopathy level. Implications for treatment according to the emotional, social, and cognitive functioning of this population, and as related to the practice of school psychologists, are presented.
