Abstract
A number of noteworthy texts have appeared. Beck's (12, 13) two volumes include descriptions of scoring categories, scoring problems and examples, discussion of psychological meanings of categories, and fortythree illustrative records covering a variety of personality pictures. Two volumes on Diagnostic Testing by Rapaport, Gill, and Schafer (117, 118) aim to present the theory, statistical evaluation, and diagnostic application of a battery of tests employed at the Menninger Clinic. Considerable space is devoted to the Rorschach technic. Bockner and Halpern (18) have published a revised edition of their book, and Klopfer and Davidson (80) have added a supplement to the Klopfer-Kelley manual. In two recent surveys of psychologists' opinions (Kornhauser, 82, and Faterson and Klopfer, 39), a majority indicated that the Rorschach Method has a definite place in the field of general psychology, and that it has clinical value if used by trained persons; but vigorous statements were also made in terms of lack of objectivity, reliance on personal norms and subjective evaluation, lack of validation, limited clinical application, and cultism. Replying to various criticisms of the Rorschach Method (such as the lack of objectivity), Munroe (98, 99) formulated and analyzed the method as a dynamic technic, and emphasized the need for a fairer perspective and for more appropriate standards of value.
