Program Description: This training program provides the equivalent of one semester of graduate training in the Rorschach Comprehensive System (35 hours) – a minimum standard for competence with the method, set by the Society of Personality Assessment. The program is designed to teach participants adequate procedures for the administration of the method. It also teaches the criteria and guidelines for coding that take participants to a level of competence near the expert level. Furthermore, it introduces participants to a knowledge of interpretation procedures that prepares them for a second semester equivalent in training, (e.g. an advanced Rorschach Training Program) that will take them to an expert level of competence in all phases of the method (administration, coding, and interpretation).
