This paper illustrates the benefits that can be gained from administering the Child's Apperception Test (CAT) to adults. Five CAT and five Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) pictures were administered to 20 freshmen psychology students and 20 mental hospital patients. Five CAT-Human (CAT-H) and five TAT pictures were shown to 20 other freshmen psychology students, thus isolating the effect of the animal figures used in the CAT. The stories of all subjects were rated on various measures designed to test the level and type of projection. Results were compared and analyzed, both statistically and clinically, and demonstrated by clinical examples. Findings of this study prove the unique contribution of the CAT in reflecting basic infantile conflicts and experiences, and indicate that use of the CAT is beneficial for certain adult personality types.
本文阐述了对成年人进行儿童统觉测验（CAT）所能获得的益处。对20名心理学专业大一新生和20名精神病院患者施测了5张儿童统觉测验图片和5张主题统觉测验（TAT）图片。向另外20名心理学专业大一新生展示了5张儿童统觉测验-人类版（CAT-H）图片和5张主题统觉测验图片，从而分离出儿童统觉测验中动物形象所产生的影响。根据旨在测试投射水平和类型的各种指标对所有受试者的故事进行评分。对结果进行了统计和临床比较与分析，并通过临床实例进行了说明。本研究结果证明了儿童统觉测验在反映基本婴儿期冲突和经历方面的独特贡献，并表明使用儿童统觉测验对某些成年人格类型有益。
