Distinguished Foreword

Wayne H. Holtzman, Ph.D.

Hogg Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Past President of Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, University of Texas at Austin; Creator of the Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT).

“The authors have compiled a comprehensive, up-to-date handbook on inkblot tests as the most important projective techniques for assessing personality... The Somatic Inkblot Series deserves much greater attention from clinicians and researchers everywhere, and this handbook will help to acquaint them with the attractive features and both research and clinical possibilities of the Somatic Inkblot Series I and II.”

Author's Preface

Wilfred A. Cassell, M.D., FAPA

Creator of the Somatic Inkblot Series; Director of the SIS Center, Anchorage, Alaska; Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.

“Prepare for an intellectual adventure into the methodologically illusive, inner realms of the ‘mind/body’... A unique advantage of the SIS procedure is that it bridges physiological body boundary defenses, yoga introspective awareness, and the unconscious cry for somatic healing.”
