A comment on " The Comprehensive System for the Rorschach: a critical examination."(response to article by James M. Wood, M. Teresa Nezworski and William J. Stejskal in this issue, p. 3)
Article Abstract:
J. M. Wood, M. T. Nezworski and W. J. Stejskal's comment that the Comprehensive System for the Rorschach lacks interrater reliability is incorrect. The method of percentage of agreement approach provides empirical support for the system. Their criticism on validity of the measure is based only on 4 of the 54 variables that form the Structural Summary Rorschach data. Of the 48 articles published on Rorschach test, 34 are research reports and 24 of these involve data and findings from 36 unpublished studies. Thus, contrary to their belief, this system has a strong research base.

Score on the examination for professional practice in psychology as a function of attributes of clinical psychology graduate programs
Article Abstract:
The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) is an important exam for many psychologists. Candidates in all 50 states and eight Canadian provinces are required to achieve a minimum score to be licensed. A study correlates EPPP scores with variables representing graduate training programs. Higher EPPP score was linked with larger faculty-to-student ratios, traditional program orientation, smaller clinical programs and Ph.D awards. High EPPP scores were also produced by graduates on programs approved by the American Psychological Association.

The anatomy of impact: what makes an article influential?
Article Abstract:
The impact of a psychological article depends on its presentation quality, theoretical and practical significance, substantive and methodological interest, and value for future research. The mere communication of a novel idea is not enough unless it is theoretically and practically important as well. The connection between the article, and the time and place of publication also determines its impact. as what may be important at one time and place may not be important at another.
