Rorschachiana Journal of the International Society for the Rorschach

Thought-provoking contributions from the world of the Rorschach -- including a special section on the close relationship between psychoanalysis and the Rorschach that illustrates the impact of psychoanalytic thinking on projective psychology and vice versa. This latest volume of Rorschachiana illustrates the diversity of ideas and the many possibilities that projective methods can offer. The general section includes a blend of research papers and innovative research that illustrate the influence of social, scientific, and cultural contexts on human behavior. A special section dedicated to psychoanalysis and the Rorschach includes papers by practitioners and researchers from a variety of countries who use different Rorschach systems as well as theoretical and methodological approaches. The topics range from suicidal ideation to the process of aging and the assessment of mentalization. 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.
