Collapsing what had been the first two volumes into a single text, Exner (emeritus, psychology, Long Island U.) continues the project of systematizing the best of practice for Rorschach (ink-blot) test implementation and interpretation. Twenty-two chapters are organized into four sections covering history and development of the text, administration and scoring, the nature of the test, and interpretation. Annotation c.
