Psychodiagnostic test usage: a survey of the society for personality assessment.

The present survey investigated psychodiagnostic test usage and practices of the Society for Personality Assessment. A brief questionnaire was forwarded to 400 SPA members and 206 responded for a 51.5% rate of return. Projective techniques found popular in previous surveys of Division 12 were the major assessment instruments utilized by SPA members. Exner's comprehensive system was the preferred mode of Rorschach analysis, followed by the Klopfer and Beck systems. The Wechsler Scales and the MMPI were frequently included in conducting a psychological battery. Personality assessment was mainly utilized for diagnostic purposes and as an indicator for type of therapy.

The status of projective techniques: or, "wishing won't make it go away".

Analyzed predicted decline of projective techniques in usefulness and emphasis when viewed from several different perspectives: the academic community; members of APA Division 12; internship centers; the applied clinical setting; and private practitioners. An extensive review of empirical, survey, and position studies over the past two decades supports the utility of projective techniques, with the exception of the clinical academic setting. The apparent loss in status of projective assessment is attributed, in part, to changing roles and functions of clinical psychologists. Implications for graduate training are discussed.

Perspectives on death: a developmental study.

While prior research has focused on death anxiety in general, more recent studies have recognized the need for multilevel measures for assessing the fear of death. A 12-item questionnaire used in the present cross-sectional investigation produced three factors--Evaluation of Death in General (Factor I), Belief in the Hereafter (Factor II), and Death Anxiety Related to Self (Factor III). The sample consisted of 874 Ss categorized into six age groups from young adult to old age. A two-way ANOVA on each of the factor scores was performed for the variables age and sex. Middle-age and late middle-age persons were significantly less anxious in regard to Evaluation of Death in General than their younger and older counterparts. Old age groups showed the least Death Anxiety Related to Self. Sex differences were found for Factors II and III. Future research should differentiate the concept of death from the process of dying.
