The past forty years have revealed a myriad of theoretical advances to Freud’s original conceptions of the personality. It has also witnessed the continued use of projective methods as a vital means of understanding the what and the how of mental health and psychopathology. Understanding Personality Through Projective Testing provides the reader with a comprehensive framework for linking these revitalized key domains of personality functioning to the quality of responses to projective testing in both children and adults. Six core aspects of personality: two facets of object relations (moving towards and away from self and others); the quality of defense mechanisms; the nature of affect maturity; the integrity of autonomous ego functioning and the capacity for playfulness are defined, articulated, and linked to one another in a reciprocal manner. Four commonly used projective testing methods: the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM); the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the Sentence Completion Test (SCT), and the Animal Preference Test (APT) are then described in detail. Each of these projective methods is in turn presented as dynamically-based tools to indicate the relative performance of the patient across the six core personality domains. Clinical case examples provide both the beginning and more seasoned clinician with a comprehensive psychodynamic paradigm with which to view each of the testing methods, as well as enhanced methods with which to use each of the tests more subtly and hence with greater clinical acumen. A comprehensive battery of projective testing is then assessed through the protocol of a single adult patient, allowing the reader to integrate the value of each of the individual projective methods into a comprehensive assessment of the whole person. Readers will find the book a vital complement to both standard reference works on projective methods as well as books that describe personality along developmental and psychodynamic lines.

Review
In the current climate of clinical psychology training in which depth approaches to assessment and treatment are being deemphasized or eliminated (e.g., American Psychological Association Division 12 Presidential Task Force, 1999) in favor of symptom-focused methods, Tuber’s Understanding Personality Through Projective Testing is a welcome and refreshing antidote. Tuber’s volume follows in the tradition of classics on psychoanalytic psychological assessment such as Rapaport, Gill, and Schafer (1968); Schafer (1954); Allison, Blatt, and Zimet (1968); and Lerner (1998). As important and relevant as those texts continue to be, Tuber communicates his ideas and methods in a manner that is more accessible to contemporary graduate students, pre- and postdoctoral trainees, and early career psychologists who may have had less immersion in psychoanalytic theory than their predecessors in past decades. An experienced clinician, teacher, and supervisor, Tuber strives to write as if the reader is 'sitting in my classroom, sharing the dialogue with me' (p. ix), and he is largely successful. ... Tuber has made a meaningful and accessible contribution to the psychological testing literature at a point in time when useful and sophisticated psychoanalytic theory-driven approaches are at risk of being lost (Lerner, 2007). Tuber’s conversational style in communicating complex theoretical and technical ideas exudes passion for psychoanalytic theory and assessment, a generative spirit, and empathy for his patients, students, and readers. Tuber’s book offers hope that future generations of psychologists will appreciate the immense value in this way of thinking and working. Understanding Personality Through Projective Testing would be a highly worthwhile addition to reading lists in assessment seminars for advanced graduate students, interns, and postdoctoral fellows. The value of this book will be further enhanced by classroom time devoted to the thinking along with Tuber in his process of drawing inferences from the data in his detailed case illustrations.

A deeply engaging and useful book!
By classical listener
This book is an absolute gem. Tuber is a master clinician and teacher with decades of experience in personality assessment. He outlines -- with exciting clarity -- a vivid, layered psychodynamic theory of personality development. He then teaches the use of projective assessments (the Rorschach, TAT, etc.) in close conjunction with that theory. His view of how to use projective assessments, and what they mean, goes far, far beyond the basics as normally taught. Yet the book remains accessible and beginner-friendly from cover to cover. Tuber's strength as a writer is the lucidity and experience-nearness that he maintains throughout, delightfully sprinkled with clinically informative side-notes and anecdotes. And his goal is clear: to show how projectives -- rigorously and sensitively interpreted through a rich theory of personality -- can help the assessing clinician to develop a thoughtful, living picture of the individual, a picture that effectively and usefully helps to link psychological dynamics (affects, object relations, and defenses), clinical history, and cognitive profile. The book, generally full of case material, culminates with a case example in which Tuber discusses data in detail and then integrates the results from each of the projective instruments into a broader, nuanced case profile. He ends with thoughts about the human, interactive aspects of the testing process itself. This is an essential book for the psychodynamic clinician, beginning to advanced, and especially for those interested in deepening their understanding of personality assessment.

A must have for all of our repertoires as clinicians and diagnosticians alike
By 90806
Dr. Tuber has the very rare ability to enliven diagnostic data with the dynamics of developmental theory, all the while making it digestible and clinically relevant. Tuber walks his reader through the tenets of object relations, ego functions and defenses, in addition to the rationale behind his selection of projective tasks. His comments and interpretation of the presented clinical material allows the reader insight into the evaluative process. "Understanding Personality through Projective Testing" is a must have for all of our repertoires as clinicians and diagnosticians alike.

A true, MUST-READ for any tester
By pky
I've had the privilege of taking classes with Steven Tuber as a graduate student and beginning clinician and tester. His Assessment class, from which this book is inspired, is legendary - not only because of the sheer breadth and depth of material he skillfully covers with disarming clarity and purpose, but especially because of his ability to bring complex ideas so vividly to life. He stresses the point that the very nature of our experience of ourselves and others is an interaction always bathed in affect. As the best teachers do, he exemplified this fully by showing, not telling, as his infectious passion and sincerity breathed life through important theories and concepts. This gift of learning is captured thoroughly in this latest book and it's thrilling to see it printed for others to take advantage of. It is truly a must-read for any tester - new or experienced.
