Document Summary
11- motives: theories of motives, discussion of personality. One of the ways we might assess needs. Look at this stimulus, describe what"s going on: boy on a time out, boy was left behind- defensive and mad, maybe great depression. Very ambiguous photos there"s no story but provides us with opportunity to put a story to the picture: we could never do this with a client with just one or two pictures, need many, **thematic apperception technique. There"s nothing really there, it"s about your interpretation. Client projects ideas, emotions, thoughts, needs onto stimuli. Ties with idea that we have motivated unconscious (can project. Not only do we project unconscious needs, but also conscious unconscious thoughts) needs. Give a whole series, then look for themes in the stories (abandonment, anger, etc. ) One or two might be mroe about the photo but look at a span of many and see the themes of the needs.
