Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.1
Why is it ethically controversial for psychologists to use projective tests such as Rorschach inkblot test and Thematic Apperception Test?
Projective tests often require specialized training from therapists that is expensive and hard-to-find.
While these tests can provide insights, they cannot provide a definitive diagnosis.
They're subjective and depend heavily on the therapist's interpretation.
These tests are time-consuming and costly for patients.
