Rorschach week 6

IS THE RORSCHACH VALID?- Not answerable because Rorschach and valid are ambiguous
– Global conclusions are unlikely (must be criterion by criterion)
– Each method is of value in some areas and limited in others
> Self-report best when focus is on consciously available, behavioral dimensions of functioning [which the subject is not motivated to hide]
> Rorschach best for unconscious or structural dimensions of functionCONCLUSIONS- Admissible in court BUT use the Comprehensive system
– And rely on Structural Summary rather than sequence or content analysisSPA WHITE PAPER- Written for judges, attorneys, administrators, and public
– Rorschach has ” documented reliability and validity similar to other generally accepted test instruments” ERARD & EVANS 2006- Took detractors to task for failing to follow the very principles of good science that they claim as the basis of their critiques:
> Factual accuracy
> Thoroughness
> HumilityMELOY- Concluded: Rorschach ” continues to have authority, or weight, in higher courts of appeal” STRUCTURAL SUMMARY- The ultimate objective for scoring is to compute the structural summary
– Handscore the first hundred–so you know where things come from
– Use Chapter 9 in the book to walk you through the stepsSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION (8)1. ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITY
2. LOCATION CODES
3. DEVELOPMENTAL QUALITY
4. DETERMINANTS
5. FORM QUALITY
6. CONTENTS (27 categories)
7. APPROACH SUMMARY
8. SPECIAL SCORESSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITY> Zf: frequency of Z-scores
> Zsum: sum of the weighted Z-scores
> Zest: the Zsum expected from a given ZfSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
LOCATION CODES> W, D, Dd, SSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
DEVELOPMENTAL QUALITY> For all responses: +, o, v/+, v
> For responses with (-) form quality: +, o, v/+, vSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
DETERMINANTS> Single: each separately occurring determinant is recorded
> Blends (combinations of determinants): all blends are recorded here
> BE SURE when you are getting counts, to include BOTH Single and Blend determinantsSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
FORM QUALITY> FQx: form quality for all responses
> MQual: form quality for M responses
> W+D: form quality for all W and D responsesSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
CONTENTS> Freq of responses in each category (primary content, secondary/additional content)STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
APPROACH SUMMARY> The sequence of location codes for each card (WS, W, Dd, D)STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: UPPER SECTION
SPECIAL SCORES> Level 1 and Level 2–freq of special scores in each level (DV, INCOM, DR, FABCOM)
> Raw Sum6–freq of special scores (including ALOG and CONTAM)
> WSum6–weighted sum of the special scoresDV1= 1, DV2= 2, INCOM1= 2, INCOM2= 4, DR1= 3, DR2= 6, FABCOM1= 4, FABCOM2= 7, ALOG= 5, CONTAM= 7.

STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION (8)1. CORE
2. IDEATION
3. AFFECT
4. MEDIATION
5. PROCESSING
6. INTERPERSONAL
7. SELF-REFLECTION
8. COMPOSITE INDEX SCORESSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
CORE- R= total number of responses
– L (Lambda)= # of pure F divided by R-F
– EB (Erlebnistypus) = Total # of M responses : WtSumC {FC (. 5) + CF (1. 0) + C (1. 5)}
– EA (Experience Actual) = Sum M + WtSumC- EB Per (Pervasive)= divide larger number in EB by the smaller
> Calculate only if:
> EA is greater than 4
> L is less than 1. 0
> if EA 2. 0 the smaller side
> if EA > 10, then one side of EB must be > 2. 5 the smaller side

– eb (Experience Base)= Sum FM+m : Sum all variations C’+T+Y+V
– es (Experience stimulation)= sum of both sides of eb
– D= EA-es converted with 2. 5 as standard deviation
> -2. 5 to +2. 5 = 0
> -5. 0 to +5. 0 = 1 , etc

– Adj es= all but 1 m and 1 Y are removed from es to get Adj es
– Adj D= use adj es to get adj D as above

STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
IDEATIONM- is the number of M with minus FQ
M-none is M without FQ (e. g. it is love) (from any vague scores)STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
AFFECT- FC : CF + C + Cn (not weighted here, just counts)
– Pure C above (also includes Cn)
– AFR = # of responses to the last 3 cards divided by the # to the first 7 cardsSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
MEDIATION- XA+% (form appropriate extended) = # of all (+), (o), and (u) FQ over R
– WDA% (Form Appropriate–Common Areas) = # of W and D responses with FQ +, o, and u / # of all W + D responses
– S- This is a count of the number of S responses that have – FQ
– X+% (conventional use of form) = # of FQ + and o / RSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
PROCESSINGZd = Zsum – Zest (with appropriate sign)STRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
INTERPERSONALHuman Content–H + (H) + Hd + (Hd) (Interpersonal Interest) Hx is not includedSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
SELF-REFLECTION- Egocentricity Index 3r+(2) / R
– r = # of reflections
– (2) = # of pairsSTRUCTURAL SUMMARY: LOWER SECTION
COMPOSITE INDEX SCORES (6)6 indices derived from compiling a number of indicators
** Age-adjusted cutoffs for three variables:
1. WSUM6
2. 3r+(2)/R
3. Afr
NOTE cutoff values to be used
1. PTI (Perceptual-Thinking Index)
2. DEPI (Depression Index)
> Sum Shading does NOT include C’
3. CDI (Coping Deficit Index)
4. S-Con (Suicide Constellation)
> Don’t overlook that FV + VF + V ALSO includes FD
5. HVI (Hypervigilance Index)
6. OBS (Obsessive Style Index)NORMS- In general look for a variance of a standard deviation or more from the norm to interpret an indicator
– The further from the mean, the more significant ONRORSCHACH WEEK 6 SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUFOR ONLY$13. 90/PAGEOrder Now
