Rorschachiana: Journal of the International Society for the Rorschach and Projective Methods - Call for Papers
Special Issue: The Use of the Rorschach to Enhance Diagnostic Systems
Guest Editor: Prof. Radhika Krishnamurthy | Florida Institute of Technology
The Editorial Board of Rorschachiana is calling for submissions on the use of the Rorschach to enhance diagnostic systems. This special issue will include Rorschach-related concepts/scores and their connection to psychopathology (e.g., concurrent validity of Rorschach scores), the incremental value of Rorschach assessment over diagnoses based on self-report and observer-report, and case studies illustrating the role of the Rorschach in disentangling complicated diagnostic issues. Authors are especially encouraged to submit papers that report on the underlying dynamics, expressed behaviors, and self-attributions of a particular disorder, as well as papers that describe the results of a multimethod assessment with a particular focus on Rorschach data to ultimately provide a contextualized, integrated, comprehensive case study description for the disorder being assessed.
Deadline of Proposals : January 31, 2023
Deadline of Full Papers : September 1, 2023

Fellowships are open to individuals who have completed their education/training and are no more than 10 years postdoctoral. Candidates may hold a position at the rank of assistant professor (or equivalent, such as a research scientist).
