[From the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) to the Salzburg Thematic Construction Test. Remarks on an overdue test revision].

In autumn 1985 the "Thematische Gestaltungstest Salzburg", which is a further development of the well-known "Thematic Apperception Test" (TAT) H. A. Murray's, has been published by Beltz. The revision of this test includes not only a modification of the partly already antiquated pictures, but also a fundamental reorientation of the theoretical concept and of the system of analysis developed by Revers. The authors summarize the essential ideas of this test revision and explain the conclusions to be drawn for the discussion of the projection concept in psychodiagnostics. The article also displays a synopsis of the handbook for the TGT-Salzburg, which has been published together with the test.
