Class 6 Flashcards
Thematic codes
ABS
PER
COP
MAH/MAP
AGM, AGC
MOR
GHR/PHR
ODL
ABS
Abstraction
Coded for:
- Symbolic representations
- Concrete response features that symbolize a concept, emotion, or other higher order idea
- Something stands for something else
Examples
- The black is depression
- The red symbolizes passion; the green, envy
- CARD IX: 2 wizards in a fight with their willpowers … the green is their willpower
Is abstract painting scored ABS
Abstract paintings are not scored ABS unless they represent something
e. g. an abstract painting of a person’s face (NOT)
> e. g. Card V: the maker of these blots used this to represent a boomerang…. it is long and curved at the top here – not ABS because no symbolic representation
PER
Personalization
Reference to personal knowledge or experience TO JUSTIFY or clarify an answer
Example:
It’s a tulip. I know they l. l. that bec we grow them.
L.l. Ireland. I was looking at a map of it just this week
Not PER
“I don’t like them”
It looks just like one of my daughter’s finger paintings
Not a PER when client is just sharing knowledge and not justifying a response.
COP
Cooperative movement
Any movement of two or more objects that is clearly positive or cooperative
- must be unequivocal
- Must involve a Human or Animal movement
Dancing is always COP provided 2 or more objects involved
COP
- “Two people having a beer together”
- ”Kids on a see-saw”
NOT COP
- ”Two people looking at each other”
- “Two people talking”
MAH/MAP
Mutuality of Autonomy Index
MAH (Health) (Levels 1-3)—relationships reflecting the capacity for positive, mutually enhancing interaction
MAP (Pathology) (Levels 4-6)—relationships that are controlling, malevolent, and/or destructive interactions
Can involve Human, animal or inanimate entities
MAH vs COP
MAH is a subset of COP (MAH is a higher level of cooperation). If you have MAH, you have to have COP
If you have MAH and MAP in the same response, code only the MAP
Eg. Two people working together to tear this thing apart” (Code MAP and COP, not MAH)
MAP and Props
Can be MAP even if the actor is not on the card (only way a prop gets coded)
e.g., “Cat that has been run over by a car”
MAH and COP
Can have a COP without MAH
But can’t have MAH without a COP
Can code COP and MAP
e.g., “two lions tracking their prey, you can see it hiding up here”
Examples:
Two people talking together
> COP
Two people having a deep conversation
> COP and MAH
A suicide pact
> COP but not MAH
AGM
Agressive Movement
Aggression that must be occurring in the response (so movement is involved–M, FM, or m)
Explosion is not necessarily coded AGM but only when it is destructive or has an aggressive quality
e. g., he’s furious about something; man glaring right at you; two people arguing about something
ACG
Agressive Content
Coded for content that is dangerous, harmful, malevolent, predatory, including weapons, animals dangerous to humans, dangerous animal parts (claws, fangs, sharp teeth), dangerous environmental forces (explosions, tornado, forest fires, volcanos erupting), predatory creatures (beasts, vampires, demons, monsters, witches, dragons)
MOR
Morbid Response
- Something identified as dead, destroyed, ruined, spoiled, damaged, injured, broken
- Attribution of a dysphoric feeling or characteristic (gloomy, sad, unhappy)
GHR / PHR (Human Representational Responses)
Algorithm of scoring which identifies either good (GHR) or poor (PHR)
Scored if meet one of 3 criteria:
1. contain any human content (H, (H), Hd, (Hd)
2. contain M
3. FM responses that contain COP or AGM
These are scored automatically by the scoring program
Is ODL researched?
Been under investigation for a long time
–developed by Masling, et al (1967)
Empirically based -> Studies support the way it is structured
When do you score ODL
Only contents mentioned in the Response Phase are coded
