A few things about mullets and psychological assessments…
🧠🧑🏼🎤
If you want to know why some people from the 80s and 90s rocked their mullets for waaayyy longer than the style was meant to be, it has way more to do with a new acceptance of the shape of your head than the inability to give up the business in the front, party in the back lifestyle. I know cause I’m livin it. Attempt 6 to let my mullet grow out and I think this one may be the winner! Your head instantly goes from a longer, slender look, to a bulbous, mushroom head and quite honestly it’s just hard to look in the mirror. You long for the days of your slender looking head when you were ready to party at any minute of the day.

The Rorschach Test is a projective assessment where a set of premade images are presented to the individual. Based on what they see and MANY other factors the assement is just part of several things that help with diagnosis. Art Therapists generally don’t use projective assessments, they use art based assessments where the client produces the art. In any assessment, projective or art based, the clinician will never look at a specific image and say “this symbol or image means… blah blah blah.” Assessments are one part of gathering information to get a useful diagnosis to offer the appropriate treatment to the client.

I do use projective art cards in my sessions very regularly as tools of exploration. I have found them to be one of the most insightful tools I work with. (I have taken several accredited, continuing education courses to incorporate this type of work in therapy. Just so ya know!)
If you stayed this long for my rambling, thanks 🙂
