Abstract

The special issue editors selected us to form an “adversarial collaboration” because our publications and teaching encompass both supportive and critical attitudes toward the Rorschach and its recently developed system for use, the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS). We reviewed the research literature and case law to determine if the Rorschach and specifically R-PAS meet legal standards for admissibility in court. We included evidence on norms, reliability, validity, utility, general acceptance, forensic evaluator use, and response style assessment, as well as United States and selected European case law addressing challenges to mental examination motions, admissibility, and weight. Compared to other psychological tests, the Rorschach is not challenged at unusually high rates. Although the recently introduced R-PAS is not widely referenced in case law, evidence suggests that information from it is likely to be ruled admissible when used by a competent evaluator and selected variables yield scores that are sufficiently reliable and valid to evaluate psychological processes that inform functional psycholegal capacities. We identify effective and ethical but also inappropriate uses (e.g., psychological profiling) of R-PAS in criminal, civil, juvenile, and family court. We recommend specific research to clarify important aspects of R-PAS and advance its utility in forensic mental health assessment.

罗夏和 R-PAS 的法律可受理性:研究、实践和判例法的回顾

摘要

特刊编辑选择我们形成“对抗性合作”,因为我们的出版物和教学包含对罗夏墨迹及其最近开发的使用系统罗夏表现评估系统 (R-PAS) 的支持和批评态度。我们回顾了研究文献和判例法,以确定罗夏墨迹测验,特别是 R-PAS 是否符合法庭可受理性的法律标准。我们纳入了有关规范、可靠性、有效性、实用性、普遍接受度、法医评估员使用和反应方式评估的证据,以及美国和选定的欧洲判例法,以解决对心理检查动议、可受理性和权重的挑战。与其他心理测试相比,罗夏测验并没有以异常高的速度受到挑战。尽管最近引入的 R-PAS 并未在判例法中广泛引用,但有证据表明,当有能力的评估者使用时,来自它的信息可能会被裁定为可接受,并且选择的变量产生的分数足够可靠和有效,可以评估告知信息的心理过程功能性心理法律能力。我们确定了 R-PAS 在刑事、民事、少年和家庭法庭中的有效和道德使用(例如心理分析)。我们建议进行具体研究,以阐明 R-PAS 的重要方面,并提高其在法医心理健康评估中的实用性。证据表明,当有能力的评估者使用来自其中的信息时,可能会裁定其信息是可以接受的,并且选定的变量会产生足够可靠和有效的分数,以评估告知功能性心理法律能力的心理过程。我们确定了 R-PAS 在刑事、民事、少年和家庭法庭中的有效和道德使用(例如心理分析)。我们建议进行具体研究,以阐明 R-PAS 的重要方面,并提高其在法医心理健康评估中的实用性。证据表明,当有能力的评估者使用来自其中的信息时,可能会裁定其信息是可以接受的,并且选定的变量会产生足够可靠和有效的分数,以评估告知功能性心理法律能力的心理过程。我们确定了 R-PAS 在刑事、民事、少年和家庭法庭中的有效和道德使用(例如心理分析)。我们建议进行具体研究,以阐明 R-PAS 的重要方面,并提高其在法医心理健康评估中的实用性。
