Disease relevance of Projective Techniques

  • To test the claim that peculiar personality bias is detectable in multiple sclerosis (MS) we used the Szondi test to investigate the psychodynamic aspects of 110 MS patients in comparison with 200 healthy subjects [1].
 

High impact information on Projective Techniques

  • The Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Study and Yatabe-Guilford Personality Test were used to evaluate aggression [2].
  • In these subjects a significant correlation was found between the tendency to become mildly hypoglycaemic and scores on the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory and the Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Study. A factor analysis of the data found that both scores on the aggression questionnaires and the measure of hypoglycaemia were similarly weighted [3].
  • We investigated the hypothesis that certain signs in the Draw-A-Person projective technique reflect male homosexuality [4].
  • We investigated the psychological sequelae of incest through the use of the Draw-A-Person Questionnaire (DAPQ; Karp, 1990), a projective technique with an objective component [5].
  • Results are interpreted as providing statistical support for the use of the Hand Test as a screening and/or ancillary projective technique in assessing school children [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Projective Techniques

 

Gene context of Projective Techniques

  • Intellectual/cognitive ability was assessed by the WAIS, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M), Ravens Coloured Progressive Matrices; personality was assessed by the Hand Test, a projective technique [8].
  • Projective technique: a way of getting "hidden" information: Part II [9].
  • Analyzed predicted decline of projective techniques in usefulness and emphasis when viewed from several different perspectives: the academic community; members of APA Division 12; internship centers; the applied clinical setting; and private practitioners [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Projective Techniques

  • Though the Hand Test has not been independently validated on older adults, results were consistent with past findings using projective techniques inasmuch as depletion and constriction of personality were noted [11].
