  • 87% received introductory Rorschach training; only 25% received advanced training.
  • 78% of trained students desired more Rorschach training.
  • Training satisfaction was linked to Rorschach experience, program orientation (psychodynamic/eclectic vs. cognitive-behavioral), degree type (PsyD vs. PhD), and program attitude.
