This practical, two-day workshop supports the clinical application of the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) with children and adolescents.  The current status of R-PAS, recent research with R-PAS with children, and developmental trends are highlighted as foundation for applying the test to youth.  Participants will be introduced to the child norms, the online computer system and resources, and the R-PAS interpretive output, and practical demonstrations will be provided.  Clinical application of R-PAS is emphasized on the second day by presenting both an adolescent and a child case.  In addition, we will schedule a phone conference about a month after the workshop to enable participants to ask follow-up questions and to consolidate their knowledge and skills.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe important Rorschach administration factors that might differ for children and adolescents versus adults.
2. Analyze and interpret child and adolescent normative foundations of the child norms.
3. Utilize online systems for scoring child and adolescent protocols.
4. Identify variables that are associated with development distributions.
5. Translate R-PAS normative output to interpretative statements.

 

For this intermediate level workshop, we assume attendees have previous experience and training with R-PAS.  Reading the R-PAS Manual (Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011; chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, & 10), will be particularly helpful for participants, as would be scheduling a practice administration a week or two after the workshop.

The manual 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 so that you can order it.
