CPS is a global 72-year-old publishing house, specializing in projective assessments including the famous Children’s Apperception Test and, most recently, the Bellak Apperception Test (BAT). Both the black and white and color versions of the BAT are composed of five cards, with reference to five cultures, as requested by students. It also includes a 5-page manual, which includes an outline for research.
One Haworth Schedule is included. The revised Haworth Schedule, originally created for the CAT, focuses on teaching students not only to diagnose, but, if necessary, also offer a referral to a psychiatrist. With the CAT, BAT and TAT, in-depth awareness of any dual diagnosis such as OCD, and or Central Auditory Processing Disorder (which often is not part of a diagnostic evaluation), and or ADHD & Autism, may surface. The SAT Senior Apperception Test, the TAT, and the BAT can also be used for geriatrics.
The CAT- A color version, created in 2012, has been so successful that in 2017, the CAT H color edition was created. The CAT is used with the Weschler Assessment to measure social cognition. It is also often used to diagnose Autism in group and individual therapy in conjunction with assessments ADOS, ADI-R, or CARS2. These thematic measures offer insight into social dynamics, emotional regulation, visual analysis, and beliefs. Recurring themes in stories can unravel trauma and somatization tendencies. (Conversion of a mental state such as depression or anxiety may result in physical symptoms in the absence of a recognized medical condition.) Catskill Neuropsychology, New York, Dr. Ronald Turner, 2023.
Who uses these projective tests? Neurologists, clinical neurologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, in/out house clinics, group & individual therapists, and hospitals (including medical doctors).

Synopsis Of The Kangaroo Complex Film
For Families / Psychologists / Neuropsychologists
This exquisite 53 minute film documents on how the CAT helps 4 single parent mothers identify with their lives based on the cards they chose to reflect upon based on the C.A.T. As with a kangaroo, it’s mom, eventually sees the baby come out of it’s pouch and live an independent life.
Since this film in 2014, was produced by a psychologist, much has changed. Now, in the last several years, companies such as Microsoft, Ernst and Young, and others recognize the brilliance some have with the Autistic Spectrum. This includes memory and tremendous imagination. This has led to one of the companies employing someone who created from NASA’s Kepler Telescope, an interactive software program called the Filtergraph, an instrument, which NASA licensed from that company.
Other developments such as the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation opened up at Vanderbilt University.
Groundbreaking research is done there where scientists and others develop tools and technology to transform the workplace for people on the autistic spectrum. CBS did a segment in 2021 on Autism with Anderson Cooper as the interviewer, offering much inspirational hope.

Billy Mayfair Reveals Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis
STEPHANIE APSTEIN
APR 21, 2021
Billy Mayfair pauses. “I’m a little bit nervous,” he says.
At 14, Mayfair was on the cover of Boys’ Life magazine next to a headline reading, HARD-HITTING JUNIOR GOLF CHAMP. At 32, he became the only person to beat Tiger Woods in a playoff on the PGA Tour. (Years later, Woods approached Mayfair’s breakfast table at an event. “Can I sit here?” he asked. “Because everyone else is afraid of me.”) Mayfair won five events, including the 1995 Tour Championship. He is 54; he has been talking to reporters for most of his life.
But he has never had a conversation quite like this one. In November 2019, shortly after a bizarre sequence led to his disqualification from the Champions Tour Invesco QQQ Championship, he underwent a battery of tests. The results confirmed what his wife, Tami, had long suspected, and what Billy had long denied: Mayfair has autism spectrum disorder.
