The Handbook of Forensic Rorschach Assessment (The Lea Series in Personality and Clinical Psychology)

The Handbook of Forensic Rorschach Assessment underscores the unique contribution the Rorschach makes to forensic practice, such as its demonstrated resistance to response style influence. The chapters, all of which include the expertise of a licensed practicing forensic psychologist, offer a systematic approach to personality assessment in presenting use of the Rorschach in specific forensic contexts.

The book opens with essential information related to the scientific and legal basis of the Rorschach, and covers fundamental elements for preparing informed court testimony.

The section to follow presents updated references samples for various forensic populations. The editors conclude with useful models for the Rorschach use in specialized areas of forensic practice, including with battered women, immigration court assessment, assessing impaired professionals, and working within the field of police psychology. This book is a comprehensive resource designed to guide psychologists in their forensic practice.
