<p>I wish that I had had this volume available for those 5 years when I was charged with teaching the Rorschach to graduate students. Choca states that his goal is to teach interpretation of the test and he succeeds exceptionally well in this pursuit.</p> (PsycCRITIQUES)

In this highly readable interpretive guide to the Rorschach Inkblot Test, James P. Choca describes the uses to which it is best suited. Used appropriately, the Rorschach uniquely reveals a person amp rsquo s level of energy, control of emotions, and thought processes-something that other tests are unable to do.

Choca reviews the current literature, emphasizing those markers that have the strongest scientific support, and illustrates how to integrate the science and clinical art of Rorschach interpretation when working with patients. Case examples deftly illuminate these principles.

After reading this book, graduate students and professionals will have acquired a solid foundation for administering and interpreting this constructive clinical tool.

A Cuban American, he has done diagnostic and research work with psychological instruments for Spanish-speaking individuals.
