Title: Evocative Images
Description: "For more than 6 decades, psychologists have been exploring the needs, drives, sentiments, complexes, and conflicts of personality using the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Developed chiefly by Henry A. Murray at the Harvard Psychological Clinic, the TAT has worldwide uses in clinical, military, and industrial settings; neuropsychological assessments; forensic evaluations; and creativity and motivation studies. Yet researchers continue to debate its reliability and validity. Despite the test's wide use and popularity, no consensual scoring system or set of norms exists for the TAT. In this book, a host of veteran contributors retrace the roots of this vital instrument, along with the circumstances that shaped, and continue to shape, the TAT's rich history, theoretical and empirical grounding, and continued practical value."--Jacket.
