“…Compared to CS, R-PAS has introduced some important, technical modifications (Meyer, 2011;Meyer & Eblin, 2012). Among them, a new administration procedure has been implemented (see Reese, Viglione, & Giromini, 2014;Viglione et al, 2015), and new international norms have been developed (see Giromini, Viglione, & McCullaugh, 2015;Viglione & Giromini, 2016). Although most of the CS codes were incorporated into R-PAS, so In the first of these studies, Viglione, Blume-Marcovici, Miller, Giromini, and Meyer (2012) reported data on two graduate students who independently coded Rorschach protocols administered to adults and children.…”

Recently, the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS; Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011 ) was introduced to overcome some possible limitations of the Comprehensive System (CS; Exner, 2003 ) while continuing its efforts to link Rorschach inferences to their evidence base. An important, technical modification to the scoring system is that R-PAS interpretations are based on both standard scores and complexity-adjusted scores. Two previous U.S. studies reported good to excellent interrater reliability (IRR) for the great majority of R-PAS variables; however, IRR of complexity-adjusted scores has never been investigated. Furthermore, no studies have yet investigated R-PAS IRR in Europe. To extend this literature, we examined R-PAS IRR of Page 1 and Page 2 raw and complexity-adjusted scores with 112 Italian Rorschach protocols. We collected a large sample of both clinical and nonclinical Rorschach protocols, each of which was coded separately by 2 independent raters. Results demonstrated a mean intraclass correlation of .78 (SD = .14) for raw scores and.74 (SD = .14) for complexity-adjusted scores. Overall, for both raw and complexity-adjusted values, most of the variables were characterized by good to excellent IRR.

“…There is now a robust literature on the Rorschach and trauma, and presenting this is the focus of this paper. Few psychological assessment instruments have as broad an international usage as the Rorschach (Viglione & Meyer, 2008;Evans & Hass, 2018). The Rorschach has a large body of international norms, which include international norms for the Exner Comprehensive System (CS; Meyer et al, 2007) and for the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS; Meyer et al, 2011Meyer et al, , 2017.…”

The Rorschach and Trauma – An Update

Abstract. Early research on trauma employing the Rorschach found it to be an ideal instrument, with its red, black, gray, and vibrant colors, to elicit trauma content. Two patterns of Rorschach responses emerged: the constricted pattern, where the evaluee kept to a form-based, avoidant approach to the blot, as if defending against the memories of the trauma, and a flooded pattern, where morbid and aggressive images paralleled that of psychosis. The Rorschach as an instrument continues to demonstrate high sensitivity to the experience of trauma, and research since 2005 has added complexity and additional validation for the use of the Rorschach in the evaluation of the effects of trauma.

“…The system also contains a marker of malingering or negative simulation (CritCont%). Lastly, the normative data are based on globally collected adult reference samples (Meyer, Erdberg, & Shaffer, 2007), which compared to the traditional CS norms, make nonclinical adults appear less pathological (Meyer, & Viglione, 2008;Viglione, & Giromini, 2016).…”

Rorschach Assessment of Two Distinctive Personality States of a Person With Dissociative Identity Disorder

This case study used test data from a patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID; American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ) to illustrate how two main personality states of the patient ("Ann" and "Ben") seemed to function. The Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS; Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011 ) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex (IIP-64; Horowitz, Alden, Wiggins, & Pincus, 2000 ), administered to Ann and Ben in separate settings, exposed two diverse R-PAS and IIP-64 profiles. Ann's R-PAS profile suggested an intellectualized style of information processing with few indications of psychological problems. Ben's profile indicated severe perceptual, cognitive, and interpersonal difficulties combined with suspicion and anxiety. Ann's IIP-64 profile suggested minor interpersonal problems, whereas Ben's indicated serious relational difficulties. The findings were discussed in relation to the theory of trauma-related structural dissociation of the personality (van der Hart, Nijenhuis, & Steele, 2006 ), which implies an enduring split in the organization of the personality with more or less separate entities with their own sense of self, perception of the world, and ways of organizing emotional, cognitive, and social functions. The DID personality structure is seen as a defense strategy and as a pathway in the personality development producing serious psychological pain and symptoms.
