“…According to Exner’s interpretation, the former show a laxness in modulating emotion, and the latter show an orientation toward oversimplification and correctness 15. These findings were not observed in a previous study of bipolar depression and mania,13 or examined in previous studies of bipolar disorder patients and their children,21,23 although healthy offspring of bipolar parents showed lower FC scores, which might result in more (CF + C) > FC + 2. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that (CF + C) > FC + 2 was as an independent predictor of a bipolar diagnosis.…”

“…However, it was difficult to determine whether bipolar depression and unipolar depression were aberrant or not because these findings were not compared with those in healthy controls. On the other hand, Osher et al reported higher WSum6 scores in euthymic bipolar patients and healthy children of bipolar parents than in healthy controls 21,23. They suggested that thought disorder detected by the Rorschach test might be a psychological marker or endophenotype.…”

BackgroundThe bipolar-unipolar distinction in patients with a major depressive episode is the most important issue related to the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders, but remains unresolved. This study was undertaken to compare bipolar and unipolar depression on Rorschach testing using the Comprehensive System with reference to healthy Japanese controls.MethodsPatients with bipolar or unipolar depression who had undergone the Rorschach test for routine clinical purposes were followed up naturalistically for a long period. Based on diagnostic confirmation after long-term follow-up, scores on this test for patients with bipolar and unipolar depression were compared with those published elsewhere for healthy Japanese controls.ResultsThe bipolar depression group showed significantly higher scores or positive findings in five variables of the Rorschach test, ie, WSum6, DR2 > 0, (CF + C) > FC + 2, PureC > 1, and Populars > 7, as assessed using the Comprehensive System, than did the unipolar depression group and healthy controls. These scores did not differ between the unipolar depression and control groups.ConclusionThe results of this study show thought disorder or cognitive slippage and marked laxness in modulating emotion in bipolar depression, indicating the psychopathological characteristics of bipolar disorder.

“…Une étude plus convaincante issue de la même équipe de recherche (Osher et al, 2000), se focalise uniquement sur un groupe de 14 enfants sains de parents bipolaires comparé à un groupe de 14 enfants sains et sans antécédents. Ils constatent dans le groupe test une diminution du nombre de FC, de M et de P et une augmentation des cotations spéciales de niveau 2 (Lvl2) (en moyenne et non en fréquence), une augmentation du WSUM6 (6,14 vs 2,93), et une augmentation du nombre de sujets présentant la constellation CDI 13 positive (71,4 % vs 35,7 %).…”

Cet article est une revue de la littérature sur l'usage du test de Rorschach dans le contexte des troubles bipolaires. Si les premiers travaux sur la question remontent aux origines même du test, il s'avère que peu d'études, à ce jour, ont été conduites sur ce sujet. Les recherches recensées concernent essentiellement : la description du fonctionnement psychologique des patients bipolaires dans les différentes phases de la maladie, la comparaison avec d'autres tableaux psychopathologiques à des fins de diagnostic différentiel (troubles unipolaires, schizophrénies, troubles schizoaffectifs) et la recherche d'endophénotypes. Les résultats de ces études sont résumés et leurs particularités méthodologiques discutées, ainsi que la pertinence du Rorschach comme outil d'investigation de cette pathologie. AbstractThis article is a review of the literature concerning the use of the Rorschach test in the context of bipolar disorders. Even though the first research dates back to the origin of the test, very few studies have been conducted so far. The known research mostly concerns: the description of the psychological functioning of bipolar patients throughout the different phases of the illness, the comparison with other psychopathological designs in order to set up a differential diagnosis (unipolar disorders, schizophrenic disorders, schizoaffective disorders) and to seek endophenotypes. This article aims at summarizing the findings of these studies and 1 Maître de conférence en psychologie clinique. 2 Professeur de psychologie clinique et de psychopathologie.at discussing their methodological specificities, as well as the relevance of the Rorschach test as a tool to investigate this pathology.
