ABSTRACT

The Personal Problem-Solving System-Revised (PPSS-R) consists of four components: story design (four elements); story orientation (four elements); story solution; and story resolution (four elements). The typical format is to administer and score three Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cards. The PPSS-R consists of 13 elements. Twelve elements are rated to describe each story using a five-point scale, and one element is based on the counting of story solutions. Information on administering the TAT cards, scoring criteria, methodological considerations, and practice stories are presented in this chapter.
