“…Because many researchers have found the Rorschach responses to be culturally bound (e.g., Alvarez et al, 1993; Ephraim, Acevedo, Alvarez, & Rueda, 1993; Fuster, Sifre, Barriuso, Lobato, & Martinez, 1997; Mattlar, 1986; Mattlar et al, 1993; Silva, Novo, & Prazeres, 1990), the indexes measuring pathological thinking that have been developed on the basis of North American studies may not be sensitive enough to the European cultural context. With regard to schizophrenia, symptoms and cognitive disturbance are expected to manifest themselves equally across different sociocultural environments (Jablensky et al, 1992), but there may be also differences in national personality characteristics which have an impact on the Rorschach results of patients from different countries (Mattlar, Forsander, & Mäki, 1997).…”

“…In our research, the median F values were 11.00, 15.00, 15.00, 15.00, and the Lambda values were 1.97, 1.50, 1.75, 1.89 (all above one standard deviation, in keeping with the Workbook norms) (Exner, 1985). The adult group we mentioned earlier presented 13.42 for F and 1.07 for the Lambda value (Silva et al, 1990) compared to Exner's 8.17 and .59. This makes the Pure F responses dominant over the remaining determinants, both in the children and adult groups we examined.…”

“…We are inclined to believe that they are not. Our statement is based upon our discovery of a mean V value of .90, in a study with 100 highly educated nonpatient adults of both sexes (Silva, Novo, & Prazeres, 1990), which is a rather high value in comparison with Exner's .48 (1985). We insist on these particular aspects for two main reasons: firstly this is a variable with an important interpretive meaning related to negative feelings, namely affect and behavioural disorders such as depression and suicide; secondly, this variable may have found the right conditions for its development, in which case this may well be a meaningful cultural feature.…”

Previous studies have drawn attention to the occurrence of important differences between the mean scores of some Rorschach variables in Portuguese samples and the normative data published by Exner. The present paper shows the evolution in the scores of 13 Rorschach variables, during the first four school years, from protocols of a sample of 22 children of both sexes. The results obtained are consistent with those found before. The authors discuss the meaning of these differences and formulate some considerations on eventual implications, both practical and theoretical, for the use of the American Comprehensive System norms in Portugal and other countries.

“…Although this was not a random sample, we nevertheless were struck by the same trend in some mean values, that is, lower form level and fewer T than Y . Although we do not want to attach too much importance to these results from a nonrandom sample, we do find it curious that the same trend is present (Silva, Novo, Prazeres, 1991).…”

It is not possible to speak about projective methods in Portugal, their study, application, research and teaching, without mentioning the general path that psychology has taken in our country. When its history is written, it will be possible to see the inf luence of several successive circumstances, among which stands out the nature of the political and ideological regime that governed this Portugal for most of this century.Up until the 1930s there were several individuals, mostly university professors, who paid close attention to trends in psychology in other countries, most visibly in the field of education. Nevertheless, there were also important scholars whose names are attached to various centers and institutions around the country who were interested in the areas of the school and professional counselling, general child psychology, mental retardation, and clinical and forensic psychology.Experimental Psychology was the first area in which university teaching was allowed, beginning early in this century with an experimental psychology class. In 1911, Lisbon's and Coimbra's Colleges of Arts were created, and the experimental psychology class and its laboratory were assigned to the philosophy curriculum. This situation persisted until 1957, when a new course on general psychology was introduced under the name of "Introduction to Psychology." Under this 1957 curriculum reform, students could take the experimental and the introduction to psychology courses in their first and fourth years, and they could also enroll in a final psychology seminar and prepare their dissertation on psychology. This kind of organization allowed the regular publication of 24 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.
