“…A high percentage (72%) of positive CDIs was also found in a sample (N = 63) of male adjudicated youth (Talkington et al, 2013). In general, the Rorschach CS records obtained from these youth reflected cognitive and emotional impoverishment (e.g., mean Lambda = 1.77; 75% COP = 0), which can perhaps at least partially be linked to their low average IQ (mean IQ = 77).…”

“…In an exploratory analysis, the authors found significant and medium-sized correlations between AgC and physical abuse in childhood, sexual abuse in childhood, and violence in the family of origin for the total sample. The authors hypothesize that AgC scores may point at identification with the aggressor in response to victimization experiences (Weizmann-Henelius et al, 2006), but this interpretation needs to be investigated further.…”

Abstract. Over the years, a significant number of Rorschach studies have been conducted with forensic adult and adolescent samples, partly motivated by the use of the test in forensic psychological evaluations. Could the Rorschach, as a performance-based personality assessment tool, provide unique information that is not as vulnerable to distortion on the part of the examinee as self-report measures are? This article provides a review of Rorschach studies on relevant Rorschach variables, including those with different forensic samples. Empirical findings are mixed; there is not a one-on-one relationship between certain Rorschach variables and forensically relevant traits, such as psychopathy or hostility. This does not mean the Rorschach cannot provide useful information in answering psychological questions before the court. A case illustration of a male college student, who committed a (first) violent offense, illustrates the unique contribution of the Rorschach for understanding the psychological dynamics behind a violent act that was seemingly out of character.

“…The exception compared with antisocial personality disorders was that the passive movement responses displayed a predominance in some of the psychopaths (Mp>Ma; Franks et al, 2009;Gacono & Meloy, 1994). On the other hand, m responses decreased among the high psychopathic personalities (Loving & Russell, 2000;Talkington, Hughes, & Gacono, 2013). Violent offenders, especially with psychopathic traits, have been found to give Rorschach protocols in which AG=0 (Franks et al, 2009;Meloy & Gacono, 1992;Keltikangas-Järvinen, 1982).…”

Mental Imagery and Movement Responses to the Rorschach Test Among Young Violent Offenders

et al. 2015

Abstract. We studied the relationship between the self-reported mental imagery and movement responses in the Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS) in 26 young violent offenders. The modified version of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ-method by Marks, 1972 , 1973 ) and the Rorschach CS were used. We found a positive association between the movement responses, especially human movement responses, and the ability to create and to control images. The violent offenders seemed to have an adequate ability to imagine future events and scenarios, but they had deficits in their situation specific mental imagery. The Rorschach Form Quality minus responses showed that the subjects’ ability to use mental imagery was inadequate; it was non-adaptive and the reality orientation vulnerable. We suggest that the causes of decreased imagery vividness and increased need to control mental images are negative emotions and intrusive ideations emerging in intimate relationships.
