ABSTRACT

In this chapter I review and discuss the major scores that comprise the fifth scoring category. Although they were initially, and still are, regarded as major indicators of disturbances in thinking, on the basis of more recent work of Athey (1986) and Leichtman (1996), I suggest that these scores may also be viewed more broadly as reflective of ways of experiencing. In chapter 21, I discuss several of these same scores in terms of the role they have played in Rorschach research.
