ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter I discussed the patient–examiner relationship as one source of information available to the psychologist who tests from a clinical perspective. A second source of information consists of the scores and their interrelationships. In this chapter I consider the major scores from a particular perspective. Rather than focusing on each score individually, I examine the basic dimensions underlying the scores. Therefore, this discussion is organized around the following basic topics: movement, form, form level, color, shading, and blackness. Certain other individual scores have been found especially helpful because of their capacity to reflect specific psychological processes; these are reviewed in chapters 9 and 10.
