Use of projective testing on a consultation-liaison service.

Projective psychological testing is a valuable but underrated tool in consultation-liaison psychiatry. By reviewing psychiatric consultations with supporting psychological testing done over a 12-month period at the Beth Israel Hospital, the authors pinpointed clinical problems where projective testing was particularly helpful. The authors found suicidality, depression, and regression to be diagnostic dilemmas in which use of the Rorschach and TAT was decisive in the crisis setting of some consultations. The psychodynamic information offered by these tests guided both proper medication selection and verbal interventions as well as facilitated medical education. 4 cases were selected to illustrate the relevance of projective testing to consultation-liaison work.

A review of projective test findings with older adults.

The projective test literature on aging is reviewed. It was concluded that, while much critical research remains to be done and many of the studies are flawed, projective testing has contributed a great deal to the understanding of the aging process and has yielded a core of consistent findings. Suggestions for future research which would help resolve some current ambiguities were made.

Test-retest reliability and interrelation among three locus of control measures for children.

Test-retest reliability was obtained for the Bialer Scale for Children, the Stranford Preschool I-E Scale and a TAT Locus of Control measure. Correlations between measures ranged from .06 to .26. Based on a lack of correlation between measures, high test-retest reliability for the Bialer, a grade effect on Bialer, and the results of previous studies, the Bialer was viewed as an adequate measure of locus of control for children.

[Personality of the dyslexic child. Clinical data and contribution of projective technics].

The present paper focuses its attention on the personality disorders among relatively old dyslexic children whose symptom persists beyong logopedic reeducations of a long duration. The degree of disorientation of our subjects runs parallel to the degree of fragmentation of personality. In the Rorschach and TAT tests, the image of the Self is ill-differenciated from a poorly structured maternal image and pleads for a primary defect of the mother-child relation at a preobjectal level. The paternal function is obvious but ill-invested, therefore the relationship between severe and persisting dyslexia on the one hand, and psychosis on the other.

Prediction of MMPI clinical scores from the Apperceptive Personality Test.

Eight independent scores from a new objective/projective personality test, the Apperceptive Personality Test (APT), were validated against eight clinical scores of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). In parallel studies of 150 male and 150 female college volunteers given both tests, weighted combinations of the 8 APT measures significantly predicted MMPI raw scores in 15 of 16 analyses (Ma scores could not be predicted for men). Of 84 predicted zero-order correlations between APT and MMPI measures, 50 (60%) were confirmed, 74% for women and 45% for men; however, the vast majority of these correlations were below .30.

Using a battery of tests to predict suicide in a long-term hospital: a quantitative analysis.

Examined the Wechsler-Bellevue, Rorschach, TAT and Word Association Tests of 40 Patients for quantitative indications of suicide potential. Ten of these patients had completed suicide, 10 "serious" attempts, 10 "mild" attempts and 10 had never made a suicide attempt. In addition to a study of the quantification of major aspects of the tests, various published hypotheses also were examined. No quantitative aspect of the data differentiated all four groups. When the "completed" and "serious" attempters were compared to the "mild" and "no" attempters, the more lethal patients were found to give more movement responses and more total responses. Those who completed suicide also had a larger difference than others between their Verbal and Performance IQs. Of the published hypotheses, only the Roth & Blatt and Sapolsky hypotheses received significant support.
