ABSTRACT

There are very many spheres of enquiry within which projective technique research has the possibility or indeed the likelihood of being employed in the future. This obviously includes the areas in which it has already been applied. It is also likely that when conducting research in areas that have already been investigated, the manner in which these techniques have been used will likely be similar to earlier investigations. However, in our final chapter, we will make attempts to predict the more novel ways and situations in which projective techniques will be used in the future and we will consider unusual approaches and domains of usage. We concentrate upon three such neoteric techniques and domains: using projective techniques in critical social research and with individuals from minority communities; using projective techniques in conjunction with the declarative mapping approach; and using projective techniques in online contexts.
