This user-friendly manual provides a cross-cultural psychological assessment battery, including projective methods. Authors outline a new, empirically validated, reliable system, which seeks to update the scoreable and interpretable factors and entwine commonly respected "tried and true" graphomotor tests, thereby maximizing their efficacy in the assessment of significant psychological traits in children and adults.
Because of its use as a gender fair, culture free, language free testing method, it will be a valuable asset in all areas of current psychological assessment. The CCPAB test takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes to administer, and does not require any administration materials that most practitioners would not have readily available. The CCPAB can be used by evaluators on its own or in conjunction with other psychological and neuropsychological test data, as well as by mental health treatment providers seeking a quick and accurate way to assess the psychological functioning of individuals aged six years and older. Multiple appendices contain information on scoring criteria, scoring keys, and a wealth of sample questions which will also be a useful resource for evaluators.
This manual is appropriate for users ranging from graduate-level students in training and supervision to even the most skilled assessment psychologists for quick and valid assessment of a wide range of clients.

Report
"The Raphael Cross Cultural Battery (RCCB) addresses a much-needed area in the practice of personality assessment by equipping clinicians with an integrated system of projective measures that is empirically supported and culture sensitive. An ingenious system that bring new life to the applicability of projective testing across multiple clinical settings."
