title: Assessment of children's object-representations with the Rorschach.
abstract: The recent emphasis on object relations theory as an explanatory model for personality development has been paralleled in the psychological test literature by measures that assess the quality of object-representations. The author reviews one such measure--the Mutuality of Autonomy (MOA) scale--in its research applications with adults and children. He then extends the scale to the psychotherapy of children and suggests that Rorschach object-representation scores can be of heuristic value in understanding the treatment process.
