Summary:

"This book describes a fifteen-year study of personality change and development as measured by a standard battery of projective techniques. The study deals essentially with a comparison of the difference between first and second test performances, this difference, or lack of it, being compared with other available assessments. In nonclinical cases, the frame of reference has been the statements of parents, relatives and friends, employers, school authorities, and factual material obtainable from job records and the like. In clinical cases, the therapist's evaluation of the patient's condition at the start and at the termination of therapy has been used. The findings document growth and development occurring in the absence of therapeutic intervention, following long-term analysis, long-term psychotherapy, and briefer periods of psychotherapeutic treatment."
