Main description:

This latest volume of Rorschachiana illustrates the diversity of ideas and applications that projective methods offer. In a general section a diverse blend of innovative research articles are presented, including an investigation into the personalities and psychopathologies of patients with psoriasis, a study examining whether men are more likely to qualify their Rorschach human content responses as males and
women as females, and a research report identifying differences in the emotional indicators in the Two Human Figures Test due to cultural
variables. A fascinating special section presents the interpretations by a panel of experienced clinicians of a single Rorschach protocol and case study from five different psychoanalytic theoretical lenses: psychoanalytic ego psychology, object relations theory, self psychology, interpersonal theory, and attachment theory. An integrated discussion shows how varied psychoanalytical theories are, but that similar conclusions were drawn, and that together the clinicians provided a very detailed and rich case formulation.

Rorschachiana is the official publication of the International Society for the Rorschach and Projective Methods, now with more than 3,000
members throughout the world, which for over half a century has played an important role in supporting the use of the instrument, as
well as helping to develop extensive empirical research on its effectiveness in specific clinical situations. Rorschachiana is also available as a journal (ISSN 1192-5604). The journal subscription includes 2 online issues per year, access to available back issues, and the book as an annual print compendium.
