“…This suggests that, while brief treatment did not change essential personality pathology, it resulted in better capacity for adjustment and coping. Wahlstrom (1987) used the Concensus Rorschach to test the hypothesis that a pattern of interaction specific to psychosomatic families characterized families with an asthmatic child. He found not one, but several divergent patterns.…”

According to the Finnish Psychological Association (Dufva, Huttunen, Harsila, Kauppinen & Kentala, 1979), the Rorschach is, in Finland as in the U.S. (Piotrowski, 1984;Ritzier & Del Gaudio, 1976;Weiner, 1983), the personality test most used in psycho diagnostic assessment, with the Wartegg in second place. This holds true for hospitals, mental health clinics, psychiatric clinics, child guidance centers and university student health services. Psychological consultants also use it in making personnel decisions. The Rorschach usually forms part of a test battery that may also include the WAIS or WISC, drawing tests, a picture story method (CAT, TAT, ORT, or revised Finnish version of the Shneidman MAPS) and objective personality tests. The Rorschach's pre-eminence is remarkable in view of negative attitudes encountered in academic circles, and the resultant fact that a degree in psychology by no means entails competence in projective testing. In the opinion of Finnish Rorschach pioneer Aarre Tuompo (1947), it was necessary for a Finn who wanted to master the Rorschach to travel to Switzerland. Not until 1968 was an annual course devoted entirely to the Rorschach included in the curriculum of a Finnish university Qyvaskyla), and it remains the only one.To augment their inadequate formal schooling, Finnish clinical psychologists have shown persistent initiative in organizing basic Rorschach courses and advanced seminars throughout the country. In 1971, Stephen A. Appelbaum of the Menninger Clinic was invited to hold an intensive Rorschach course. In the 1980's, Rorschach summer courses were held at Oulu University's biological research stations at the lighthouse on Hailuoto island and near the waterfalls in Oulanka National 105 This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly.

“…In addition, family psychologists are at the cutting edge of the utilization of psychological tests as part of family assessment. For example, the time-honored individual Rorschach has been adapted as the Consensus Rorschach, an evaluation tool for determining interaction patterns of families (Wahlstrom, 1986). An expansion of the ways in which standardized testing instruments are employed with family members as a unit to provide additional clinically useful data that cannot be obtained by other means is also predicted.…”
