CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Special Issue: The T.A.T. and Other Storytelling Projective Methods

Vol. 35, Issue 2 (2014)

Thematic apperceptive techniques, in which people tell stories about pictures, are used clinically far more
widely than they have been studied with systematic research. Although numerous empirically supported
scoring systems that address important clinical questions exist, clinicians more often rely on theory-based
idiographic interpretation of stories as representations of clients’ internal relational schemata that can be
used to illustrate assessment findings in discussions with a client or to evoke insightful reflections on the
client’s situation.

For this special issue of Rorschachiana, we hope to receive empirical papers that give evidence
for the usefulness of scoring systems. These should include information on the process of scorer training
and the availability of the manual used to obtain interscorer reliability. Methodological papers that
elucidate the nature and output of the storytelling task or address questions bearing on the validity, utility,
and application of these systems are also welcomed. Case studies may be of interest to the extent that they
demonstrate the value of a systematic approach to story material. However, they have to follow specific
guidelines and only a limited number will be considered for publication (the instructions to authors can be
downloaded from the journal’s website at http://www.hogrefe.com/periodicals/rorschachiana/advice-forauthors/).
A range of theoretical perspectives is welcome.

Because Rorschachiana is an international journal, each empirical paper should comment on the
international implications of the findings and discuss its cross-cultural use. Such comments may include,
for example, its linguistic specificity, its robustness in translation, and the cross-cultural generalizability
of the constructs and behaviors of the measure and its usual correlates. Cross-cultural generalizability is
not, however, a requirement.
