The Interpretation of Psychological Tests.

Abstract

The purpose of this volume is to illustrate the use of psychological tests within the "ego psychological" framework of personality assessment deriving from the work of David Rapaport and Roy Schafer. The authors undertake to demonstrate principles of interpretation and integration of varied aspects of test response into a comprehensive description of personality functioning. Their approach to test administration, scoring, and interpretation is presented clearly and concisely, although without sufficient breadth of illustrative material to serve as a manual or comprehensive text.
