Hello. I am interested in learning what people think of the Rorschach as an assessment measure. Would you feel comfortable with it, especially in light of section 9.02 in the ethical code, which states:

9.02 Use of Assessments
(a) Psychologists administer, adapt, score, interpret, or use assessment techniques, interviews, tests, or instruments in a manner and for purposes that are appropriate in light of the research on or evidence of the usefulness and proper application of the techniques.

(b) Psychologists use assessment instruments whose validity and reliability have been established for use with members of the population tested. When such validity or reliability has not been established, psychologists describe the strengths and limitations of test results and interpretation.

(c) Psychologists use assessment methods that are appropriate to an individual's language preference and competence, unless the use of an alternative language is relevant to the assessment issues.

I've heard opinions from a lot of the psychodynamic and CBT folks and am really interested in hearing what practicing neuropsychologists think of using the Rorschach in light of section 9.02.
