This two-day workshop is designed for participants who have used R-PAS or who have had previous training in using the system. It will focus on R-PAS coding, administration, and interpretation within a multimethod forensic context.  Participants will have an opportunity to practice skills and learn more about key issues in small break-out groups.  Two cases will be presented.  In addition, we will schedule a phone conference a few weeks after the workshop to enable participants to ask follow-up questions, review case, and consolidate their knowledge and skills. 

To prepare for workshop, attendees should have read Chapters 1, 3, through 5, and 8 through 10 of the R-PAS Manual ( The Rorschach Performance Assessment System, Administration, Coding, Interpretation and Technical Manual, Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard & Erdberg, 2011)   which is available at the R-PAS website (www.r-pas.org) After registering for the workshop, a 10% discount code will be forwarded to you to purchase your Manual or other R-PAS publications.  In addition, attendees should code the protocol for Case 1 (sent in advance to all registrants)
