In this article, the effective use of projective techniques is described, with attention to the overperception of psychopathology, diagnosis and the description of symptoms, and the detection of child abuse.
Effective Use of Projective Techniques in Clinical Practice: Let the Data Help With Selection and Interpretation. By learning about the validity of individual test scores, psychologists can avoid using scores that are invalid and making judgments that are potentially harmful to their clients.

What are some of the key issues in the debate over whether and how projectives should be used in clinical assessments? What are some of the strengths and limitations of the clinical and psychometric approaches to interpretation of projectives? How would viewing projective techniques from either a traditional projection approach or a behavioral samp...
Our approach to the debate over the use of pro-jective techniques is that assessors should use or not use projective testing based on a careful con-sideration of critical assessment issues. Assessors are often unclear about what approach to mea-surement they are using (i.e., clinical or psycho-metric) and often make inappropriate interpretations ba...
The most common interpretive approach to SCT is to review each item’s content and obtain clinical impressions about a child’s personality dynamics. The assessor searches for patterns, clues, and thought processes and generates hypotheses consis-tent with the assessor’s view of human behavior. This approach often leads to dif-ferent interpretations ...
The next approach places sentence stems into clusters with similar item con-tent that are judged to elicit similar psycho-logical information. The assessor determines if there are important patterns of responses within a cluster of items. However, like the first strategy, the inter-pretations are heavily dependent on the assessor’s orientation. Wha...
In this chapter, we have outlined some of the major issues in the debate of when and how to use projective testing in the clinical assessment of children and adolescents. As with most assessment techniques, the problem with pro-jective testing lies not in the techniques them-selves but in the inappropriate purposes for which they are often employed...
1. Projective techniques have been the focus of much controversy. While they remain com-monly used, their use in the United States appears to be decreasing, especially in the clinical assessment of children and adolescents. 2. Much of the debate over projective tech-niques stems from confusion over what pro-jective techniques were designed to measu...
This is a review of findings from four recent surveys on use of clinical tests in the United States, The Netherlands, Japan, and Hong Kong. The preliminary analysis indicates that projective techniques are popular in the assessment of personality worldwide.

In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and human figure drawings.
