Le Rorschach à l'adolescence : la clinique du normal

Abstract

This paper reports the results of a research on the various modalities of psychic functioning in non psychiatric adolescents, as expressed in the Rorschach test. This type of descriptive study can help in differentiating between normal and deviant reactions in disturbed conditions. Rorschach protocols of 73 non consulting adolescents, aged 16 to 19, are analyzed and a card by card analysis is also provided. The card by card analysis yields much information on differences between girls and boys in their respective positions. It emphasizes the differential impact of various stimuli and this approach should be systematized. In fact, no sexual differences are noted in the distribution of many structural variables, whereas important differences appear in themes and sensitivity. Analysis of the reactions to the ten situations are a confirmation of various clinical intuitions. The authors also raise various questions refering to the issues of feminity and masculinity in adolescence. Key-words Adolescence - Psychic functioning - Rorschach - Card specificity

Perception of Reality and Norm: A Study of the Popular Responses to Rorschach’s Psychodiagnostis in Brazil

“…Rorschach score distribution does not follow a normal curve (Chiva, 1973; Pasian, 1998; Rausch de Traubenberg, Bloch-Lainé, Duplant, Martin, & Poggionovo, 1993). Nonetheless, in order to elaborate a general profile of the results, focusing on the productivity indexes (R = total number of responses) as per the literature, in the various Rorschach plates, descriptive statistics were carried out, thus obtaining the distribution of frequency and percentage, average, standard-deviation, and median.…”

O Eu-pele no Rorschach: A sua expressão em adolescentes toxicodependentes

“…Ao longo do tempo, contribuições de diferentes escolas têm enriquecido a fundamentação teórica do Rorschach, transformando a sua abordagem interpretativa e alargando a sua aplicabilidade, nomeadamente como meio de acesso aos processos de desenvolvimento e crescimento característicos da adolescência (Chabert, 1997(Chabert, /1998Marques, 1991aMarques, ,b, 1996Marques, , 1999Rausch de Traubenberg, Bloch-Laîné, Boizou, Martin, & Poggionovo, 1988;Rausch de Traubenberg, Bloch-Laine, Duplant, Martin, & Poggionovo, 1993). Neste sentido, propomos novas hipóteses de interpretação de elementos quantitativos e qualitativos deste instrumento, ensaiadas na análise (cartão a cartão) dos protocolos de dois adolescentes toxicodependentes.…”
