The Rorschach in Multimethod Forensic Assessment cover

This volume demonstrates how multimethod forensic assessment with the Rorschach adds incremental validity, insight, and practical value. Case discussions by leading forensic psychologists illustrate the integration of contemporary Rorschach assessment with the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF, the PAI, and the HCR-20. This text addresses a wide range of forensic applications including child custody, psychological trauma, personal injury, psychotic offenders, competency evaluations, immigration cases, and impression management. It also shows how the recently developed Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) effectively enhances the use of the Rorschach in forensic cases, while offering guidance for Comprehensive System users as well.

“The contributors to this volume have done a masterful job of embedding Rorschach assessment in a multimethod approach to conducting forensic evaluations. Rorschach practitioners and forensic psychologists will value the information and guidance this book provides.”—Irving B. Weiner, PhD, University of South Florida Morsini College of Medicine.

“Erard and Evans have assembled an invaluable and essential Rorschach resource for forensic psychologists. This volume aptly demonstrates what a performance-based test such as the Rorschach can uniquely bring to a variety of forensic psychological evaluations, as a compliment to the most commonly used self-report measures such as the MMPI-2 and PAI. For those testifying in court, this innovative volume also further establishes the empirical validity of the Rorschach-Performance Assessment System as the most advanced and scientifically grounded system available.”—Daniel Pickar, PhD, ABPP, private practice, clinical and forensic psychology, Santa Rosa, CA
