ÖZET
 Adli psikolojinin en önemli uygulama alanlarından biri adli psikolojik değerlendirmedir. Adli psikolojik değerlendirme yapan psikologlar, hangi testleri kullanacaklarını bilmek durumundadır, ayrıca belirli adli değerlendirme türleri için hangi testlerin uygun olduğunu bilmeleri de önemlidir. Adli değerlendirme araçları geniş bir kategori olup tanı, belirti ve klinik popülasyonlarla müdahale planlamasında kullanılmak üzere geliştirilmiş standart psikolojik testleri ifade etmektedir. Rotter Cümle Tamamlama Testi, Tematik Algı Testi ve Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi bu alanda en sık kullanılan projektif tekniklerdir. Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi, adli psikolojik değerlendirmede yaygın olarak kullanılan ve en sık talep edilen testlerden biridir. Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi kişiyi bütüncül bir biçimde ele alarak, ruhsal işleyişi değerlendiren ve olası patolojileri araştıran bir ölçme aracıdır. Fakat testin özellikle adli değerlendirmelerde kullanılması son 30 yıldır çeşitli eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Bu derlemede, Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi'nin yurt dışındaki adli psikolojik değerlendirmede kullanımına yönelik 2000 yılından sonrası için alanyazın taraması yapılmış ve testin adli psikolojik değerlendirmedeki yeri, önemi, olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle adli psikolojik değerlendirme ve bu değerlendirmede kullanılan çeşitli ölçme araçları hakkında çalışmalara yer verilmiştir. Daha sonra da projektif teknikler ve Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi ile adli alanlarda yapılan çalışmalar üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Son olarak da Türkiye'de Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi'nin kullanım alanları üzerinde durulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Rorschach Mürekkep Lekeleri Testi; adli psikoloji; psikolojik testler
ABSTRACT
 One of the most important application areas of forensic psychology is forensic psychological evaluation. Forensic psychologists need to know which tests to use, and it is also important that they know which tests are appropriate for certain types of forensic psychological evaluation. Forensic assessment tools are a broad category and refer to standard psychological tests developed for use in diagnosis, symptom, and intervention planning with clinical populations. The Rotter Sentence Completion Test, Thematic Apperception Test and Rorschach Inkblot Test are projective techniques that are common in the field. Rorschach Inkblot Test is widely used and most frequently requested test in forensic psychological evaluation. The Rorschach Inkblot Test is a measurement tool that evaluates the mental functioning by taking the person a holistic approach and investigates possible pathologies. However, the use of the test, especially in forensic psychological evaluations, has been subjected to various criticisms for the last thirty years. In this review, the literature was reviewed after 2000 for the use of the Rorschach Inkblot Test in forensic psychological evaluation and it was aimed to critically display the position, importance, positive and negative aspects of the test in forensic psychological evaluation. In this context, firstly, various tools and studies on forensic psychological evaluation are included. Later, studies on forensic fields using projective techniques, especially the Rorschach Inkblot Test was focused. Finally, the usage areas of the Rorschach Inkblot Test in Turkey were discussed.
