RACE! can be used at orientation training as seeder scenarios for Behind Closed Doors training exercises (where an RA comes to a room where other people are acting out a policy violation behind the closed door).
RACE! could also be used during the interview process to help a review committee determine a student’s readiness to be an RA.

| WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY |
“In this systematic, but economical overview of the history, method of administration, and interpretive strategies for the TAT, Brian Van Brunt has made a major contribution to the assessment literature. His unique interpretive strategy, which brings together the best elements of past TAT theoreticians and clinicians, parallels the groundbreaking work of Exner on the Rorschach. Van Brunt modestly eschews the comparison to the Comprehensive System, but one cannot read his brilliant synthesizing and avoid the comparison. Numerous case study descriptions help to bring the interpretive system to life. Within the next few years, this will likely become the standard TAT text for graduate students and Psychologists with an interest in maximizing their abilities with this essential projective assessment task.”

“This volume is an indispensable resource for clinicians and testing examiners who use the Thematic Apperception Test. It compiles a large number of essential resources and provides incisive interpretation in the context of a highly useful interpretive strategy. It will quickly become an essential tool of the psychological assessment training armamentarium.”

“This is the best summary of data on the TAT that I have seen. You have pulled together a number of rich resources into one volume. I am putting it in our assessment resource library so that my students can use it on a regular basis.”
