This 5-day online workshop by Donald J. Viglione, Ph.D., ABAP, Philip Keddy, Ph.D., and James H. Kleiger, PsyD, ABPP, ABAP, provides a thorough introduction to the administration, coding, and interpretation of the (R-PAS). It was developed to fulfill the needs for both (a) those with no previous Rorschach training or experience and also (b) those who are experienced clinicians and instructors who have training in previous Rorschach systems and want a thorough “hands-on” understanding of how to use R-PAS in applied practice or teach it to others. The workshop includes lecture, small group, and interactive experiences, case examples, introduction to case processing and support on r-pas.org, helpful support documents, and mention of some expected future revisions of R-PAS.
All participants should have an R-PAS Manual available during the workshop (The Rorschach Performance Assessment System, Administration, Coding, Interpretation and Technical Manual, by Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011). After registering for the workshop, participants will receive a 10% discount code so that they can order the Manual or other products at www.r-pas.org. In addition, all participants will receive two free protocol allocations, which allow you to code and process a protocol on r-pas.org, and one free Case-Based Interpretive Guide that you can attach to the protocol to facilitate clinical interpretation. One of these protocol allocations will be used for practice during the workshop, the other can serve for a live R-PAS case after the workshop.
Participants should register for a free account before the workshop. This account allows you to receive protocol allocations and an Interpretive Guide for the workshop. In addition, we will show you the site during the training to familiarize you with its features. Participants should also read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the R-PAS manual before attending. “Homework” assignments to enhance your learning experience are included. Finally, there will be a follow-up group consultation to address questions when using R-PAS after the workshop.
