Book description
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret a variety of storytelling techniques
Storytelling techniques are a popular projective approach for
assessing many aspects of a person's personality, such as cognitive
processes, emotional functioning, and self-regulation. The broad
spectrum of techniques includes the Thematic Apperception Test
(TAT-the most widely embraced), Roberts-2, and TEMAS
(Tell-Me-A-Story). To use these tests properly, professionals need an
authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer,
score, and interpret them. Written by Hedwig Teglasi, a leading
researcher of the TAT and other storytelling techniques, Essentials
of TAT and Other Storytelling Assessments, Second Edition is
that source.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological
Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental
health professionals, and those in training, quickly acquire the
knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major
psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features
numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and
extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help
you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
Fully revised and updated to reflect the current research supporting
storytelling techniques, Essentials of TAT and Other Storytelling
Assessments, Second Edition reflects the latest data and
theory on scoring stories and includes new material on interpreting
stories in reference to a person's abilities in cognition, emotion,
relationships, motivation, and self-regulation. As well, the author
provides expert assessment of the methods' relative strengths and
weaknesses, valuable advice on their clinical applications, and
several case studies to illustrate best practices for implementing the
storytelling approach to personality assessment.
