Introduction

In the presentation of projective techniques four steps will be taken:

  • The first step focuses on the definition, general characteristics, classification and dominant theoretical perspectives on projective techniques.

Particular emphasis will also be given here to the Exner Comprehensive System that was gradually developed as from the late 1960s.
