About / Mar08 / Faculty & students present at 2008 SPA

March 11, 2008
For immediate release 

 

Faculty and graduate students from the Gevirtz School at UC Santa Barbara present at the 2008 Society for Personality Assessment Convention


Faculty and graduate students from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz Graduate School will take part in six events at the 2008 Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) Convention in New Orleans, LA, March 26-30. The scholars, researchers, and teachers will discuss the latest findings on topics as diverse as the Rorschach task, personality assessment thought disorder scales, and alcohol abuse among college students.

The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) was founded in Essex County, New Jersey by Bruno Klopfer and a group of his students. The Society is a collegial organization dedicated to the advancement of professional personality assessment, to the development of procedures and concepts for personality assessment and to the ethical and responsible use of these techniques. Initially incorporated as the Rorschach Institute, Inc. in 1938, the Society was renamed in 1971 to reflect the Society’s interest in the entire spectrum of issues present in contemporary personality assessment and to focus the Society as a special interest group, concerned with promoting exchange of ideas and information about personality assessment in research and in practice.
