Choca and Rossini translate their expertise into fundamental strategies for administering, scoring, and interpreting the test, as well as writing reports. They carefully examine the Rorschach's many variables - both individually and in combination with one another-offering possible interpretations for various scores. In addition to surveying the two primary Rorschach scoring systems - the Comprehensive System (CS) and the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS)-the authors propose their own innovative system, the Basic Rorschach, which streamlines the assessment process by analyzing only the most clinically meaningful variables. A versatile, four-step framework bolstered by advanced interpretation strategies helps clinicians look beyond a client's scores to more deeply understand the person behind them. The authors also propose a shorter, four-card Rorschach test that is more accessible in some situations, yet still clinically valid.
