Essentials of TAT and Other Storytelling Assessments / Essentials of Psychological Assessment (PDF)

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.
