On 19 March 2026, the department hosted a professional development workshop on the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), a prominent projective psychological assessment. The session was led by Ms. Ranjana C. A., an Assistant Professor and Clinical Psychologist, who provided expert guidance on the clinical principles of administration and interpretation. By focusing on the analysis of underlying motives, internal conflicts, and personality dynamics, the workshop offered students a deep dive into the psychodynamic complexities of the human experience.
The program emphasized experiential learning, encouraging participants to engage in practical exercises to master the nuances of thematic storytelling as a diagnostic tool. This hands-on approach allowed students to transition from theoretical knowledge to clinical application, refining their skills in psychological assessment. The event successfully combined academic rigor with professional practice, further preparing students for clinical environments where qualitative assessment plays a vital role in understanding patient personality and behavior.
