‘It might be what I am’: Looking at the use of Rorschach in psychological assessment.

Abstract

In this work we begin by emphasizing the importance of projective methods in psychological assessment and to place these methods in the context of other psychological assessment instruments. Than we characterize Rorschach as a projective method and think about its clinical status. After this we present Rorschach Comprehensive System and its principal aspects concerning administration, coding, structural summary and interpretation. Than we present two clinical cases using content analysis of one Rorschach card and we finish this paper with some epistemological statements cards and conclusions.
