Original 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 HIT.

“Dr. Cassell takes full advantage of new video technology in developing his interesting inkblot technique, the Somatic Inkblot Series. Considerable effort and artistic talent has gone into the development of this method, which clearly deserves further research... In the hands of an experienced clinician, the Somatic Inkblot Series is a most welcome new projective technique for the assessment of personality and psychopathology.”
