Assessment of Introject States in Psychological Trauma Test

introjective statepsychotherapy

This measure is designed to support clinical understanding of internalized self-evaluative and self-critical patterns that may become salient following traumatic experiences. The Assessment of Introject States in Psychological Trauma is intended to help identify dominant introjective states that can influence affect regulation, stress responding, and interpersonal functioning.

Developed by Sidney J. Blatt, it consists of 80 items and typically requires about 15 minutes to complete. Responses may be used to inform case formulation and treatment planning by clarifying which internalized voices or self-relational stances are most prominent at the time of assessment.

Interpretation should be integrated with clinical interview findings and other relevant measures, with attention to context, symptom severity, and safety considerations. The Assessment of Introject States in Psychological Trauma is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and is best applied within a comprehensive trauma-informed evaluation.
