Summary: The purpose of this exploratory study was to analyze differences in Rorschach responses between two groups of alcoholics, one of which was diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and the other Mixed Personality Disorder (MXPD). Forty-three male alcohol dependent inpatients participated in the study. The subjects were diagnosed by two independent clinical psychologists and divided into three groups. Group 1 consisted of 19 alcoholic patients also diagnosed BPD(BPD19); Group 2 consisted of 14 alcoholic patients also diagnosed MXPD; Group 3 comprised 10 alcoholic patients also diagnosed BPD as well as a secondary personality disorder diagnosis in addition (BPD10). The Rorschach was administered once 14 to 20 days after admission and scored according to Exner's Comprehensive System. BPD patients produced more responses than the MXPD group and revealed more interest in other people than MXPD. However, their interest in other people was marked by ambivalence, feelings of aggression, and withdrawal or isolation from social interaction. Both BPD groups revealed a significantly greater tendency to distorted perception of reality than the MXPD group and a greater tendency to pathological thinking and confusion.

This study examines the expression of selflessness – the tendency to ignore one’s own needs and serve others’ needs – in Rorschach protocols of women suffering from anorexia nervosa. The protocols of 35 women suffering from anorexia nervosa were compared to 30 protocols of a psychiatric comparison group. A multivariate analysis of variance over five variables (AG, PER, PHR, COP, and GHR) was significant: Anorexic patients showed higher characteristics of selflessness compared to the psychiatric comparison group. These findings contribute to the validation of the Rorschach technique and to the clinical observation of selflessness in anorexic patients, and they emphasize specific characteristics in the treatment of anorexia nervosa patients.

This is an empirical examination of Experienced Stimulation (es) and Experience Actual (EA) from Exner's Comprehensive System (CS) for Rorschach's Test, spurred by Kleiger's theoretical critique. Principal components analysis, Cronbach's α, and inter-item correlational analyses were used to test whether 13 determinants used to code Rorschach responses (M, FM, m, CF+C, YF+Y, C'F+C', TF+T, VF+V, FC, FC', FV, FY, FT) are best represented as a one, two, or more-dimensional construct. The 13 determinants appear to reflect three dimensions, a “lower order” sensori-motor dimension (m + CF+C + YF+Y + C'F+C' + TF+T + VF+V) with a suggested label of Modified Experienced Stimulation (MES), a “higher order” sensori-motor dimension (FM + FV + FY + FT) with a suggested label of Modified Experience Potential (MEP), and a third sensori-motor dimension (M+FC+FC') for which the label of Modified Experience Actual (MEA) is suggested. These findings are consistent with Kleiger's arguments and could lead to a refinement of CS constructs by aggregating determinants along lines more theoretically congruous and more internally consistent. A RAMONA model with parameters specified was presented for replication attempts which use confirmatory factor analytic techniques.

Système Intégré

L’intérêt du Rorschach en Système Intégré pour la recherche interculturelle réside dans la possibilité qu’il offre de (a)accéder à des aspects de la structure du psychisme et du fonctionnement psychologique que des approches conventionnelles ne peuvent atteindre; (b)fournir une clé pour comprendre les données obtenues par d’autres techniques en situant ces données dans le contexte de la culture, de l’histoire personnelle et du fonctionnement psychologique global de l’individu. Outre sa pertinence pour la recherche, le Rorschach fournit une description étendue du monde de référence interne du sujet, quels que soit son origine ethnique, ses assises culturelles ou son statut socio-économique. Une telle description phénoménologique capture “l’être au monde” particulier du sujet, notamment ses modèles internes, ses habitudes de fonctionnement (tant cognitifs qu’affectifs), ses modes de relation aux autres, et les thèmes qui, résonant avec le passé du sujet, provoquent des situations de conflit et des réactions défensives actuelles. Le Rorschach facilite aussi l’étude du contexte culturel dans lequel une personne se reconstruit de manière constante et dynamique, en interaction avec les aspects favorisateurs ou inhibiteurs de la culture. Dans la tradition herméneutique, le Rorschach permet de reconstruire le monde du sens culturel appartenant à un événement, amenant l’investigateur à comprendre l’événement du point de vue de structure intrinsèque du monde dont l’événement tire son sens. Cette façon de procéder implique toutefois que le chercheur renonce à conceptualiser les aspects “déviants” d’un protocole comme indicateurs de psychopathologie pour les considérer au contraire comme une clé pour comprendre les caractéristiques fondamentales de la personnalité dans une culture donnée. Cela demande qu’on ne pense plus la culture en terme de biais qui menacent d’obscurcir la personnalité du sujet. Il faut au contraire faire porter son attention sur la richesse que les aspects culturels du fonctionnement psychique introduisent dans un protocole. Ces réflexions nous ont été suggérées par une étude pilote portant sur les aspects du fonctionnement de la personnalité qui pourraient expliquer la participation de femmes dans la pratique de l’excision. Le groupe étudié, en 1995) était composé de 17 femmes originaires d’Afrique de l’Ouest qui vivent dans la région parisienne. Le Rorschach nous a fournit des données pertinentes concernant (1) un style particulier de fonctionnement cognitif et (2) l’émergence de l’excision comme thème essentiellement culturel.
