“…For assessment science, awareness of these methodological similarities and differences facilitates an enhanced understanding of the tools available for measuring personality and cognition, with recognition that the Rorschach task falls in a zone between the other two methods, providing a range of scores that span the continuum from what can be considered personality trait and state variables to what can be considered cognitive and information processing variables. With its international foundation, minimal effects from demographic variables, broad coverage of psychological dimensions, applicability to all but the youngest children, incremental validity relative to self-report methods Mihura et al, 2013;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001), the Rorschach continues to meet many clinical assessment needs across cultures. .…”

“…Rorschach normative samples has revealed that the CS norms used at that time were the problem rather than cultural differences, as even nonpatients from majority culture deviated in similar ways from the CS norms Meyer, Shaffer, Erdberg, & Horn, 2014;Meyer, Viglione & Giromini, 2014a;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001;Viglione & Meyer, 2008).…”

We examined the association of gender, ethnicity, age, and education with 60 Rorschach scores using three clinical and nonclinical samples of adults and youths (ns = 640, 249, and 241). As anticipated for our datasets, there were no reliable associations for gender, ethnicity, or adult age.However, in adults years of education was associated with variables indicative of complexity, determinant articulation, cognitive synthesis, and coping resources. In the clinical sample of youths, increasing age was primarily associated with more conventional perception and less illogical thought processes. Limitations are discussed in conjunction with further research that could address them, along with implications for applied practice.

“…There are meta-analytic studies (Atkinson, Quarrington, Alp, & Cyr, 1986;Bornstein, 1999;Hiller, Rosenthal, Bornstein, Berry, & Brunell-Neulib, 1999;Parker, Hanson, & Hunsley, 1988), which are regarded as supporting the validity of the Rorschach. However, these studies have been criticised as being methodologically defective, and several researchers have engaged themselves in a controversy concerning the value of the analyses Garb, Florio, & Grove, 1998Hunsley & Bailey, 1999;Lilienfeld et al, 2000;Meyer & Archer, 2001;Parker, Hunsley, & Hanson, 1999;Rosenthal, Hiller, Bornstein, Berry, & Brunell-Neulieb, 2001;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001;Weiner, 2001).…”

“…Proponents and critics of the CS have also debated the temporal consistency and the interrater reliability of the CS (Acklin, McDowell, Verschell, & Chan, 2000;Costello, 1999;Ganellen, 2001;Garb et al, 2001;Hibbard, 2003;Hunsley & Bailey, 1999;Lilienfeld et al, 2000;McDowell & Acklin, 1996;Meyer, 1997aMeyer, , 1997bMeyer et al, 2002;Viglione, 1999;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001;Weiner, 2001;Wood, Lilienfeld, Nezworski, & Garb, 2001;Wood, Nezworski, & Stejskal, 1996a, 1996bWood, Nezworski, & Stejskal, 1997). In research, the reliability of the CS variables is now mostly calculated by using the intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC, as recommended by among others Acklin et al (2000).…”

Rorschach Comprehensive Variables and Assessment for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Rationally selected Comprehensive System (CS; Exner, , 1993Exner, , 2003 Rorschach variables and suitability for psychodynamic psychotherapy were investigated in four studies with different designs. The participants comprised three clinical samples (n = 52, 25, and 69) of patients applying for and/or selected for dynamic psychotherapy. With few exceptions the CS variables were the same in the studies, and in all the studies the Rorschach was independent of clinical ratings/assessments and/or selection of patients for treatment. The first study dealt with the relation between 17 rationally selected CS variables and suitability for psychotherapy as represented by ratings of Dynamic Capacity and Ego Strength and by selection of therapy applicants for psychotherapy. The second and third studies concerned CS score differences between groups of patients differing in suitability for dynamic psychotherapy. In the second study, differences for CS variables were predicted for three groups of dynamic psychotherapy patients with mixed diagnoses. In the third study, CS score differences between two groups, differing in suitability but similar in comprising personality disordered patients, were predicted and tested. In the fourth study, correlations were predicted between 18 pre-therapy CS variables and patient post-therapy satisfaction with therapy and also with therapist post-therapy ratings of their patients' suitability for dynamic therapy.For the four studies taken together, positive results were obtained for EA, FC, the D Score, Blends, Zf, F%, MQo, and AG. The results for m, SumT, WSUM6, X-%, S, and FrrF were negative, whereas the results for YFY, FD, COP, and PER were too weak to permit interpretation.The main limitation of the research in this thesis is the lack of psychometric data concerning the clinical ratings whereas the strength is the ecological validity. The results are positive for some of the CS variables selected, mainly concerning control and cognition but also touching upon emotional integration and interpersonal forcefulness. The usefulness of the CS in psychotherapy assessment may be enhanced if only those CS variables that are found valid for the purpose are used and general personality descriptions are avoided.

“…At the end of the 1990s, some published papers, such as those of Erdberg and Shaffer (1999) or Shaffer, Erdberg, and Haroian (1999) showed results that departed from Exner's on FQ, the crucial variable of interest here. That fact is well illustrated in a review by Viglione and Hilsenroth (2001), who showed the mean X+% was lower and the mean X-% and Xu% was higher in U.S. nonpatient samples when compared to Comprehensive System normative values. Exner's (2005) own new normative data show similar changes in the mean of FQ values.…”
