It to you not scribbles, it more abruptly than Rorshakh's test!

Hello!

Many of you heard about the well-known test of Rorshakh. But today I will only give the short reference, and I will tell about other method. But both methods are connected.

Rorshakh's test (the test of ink spots) — projective test by means of which on the basis of interpretations of ink spots it is possible to analyse the identity of the person and to define lines of his character.

Herman Rorshakh (1884-1922) is the Swiss psychiatrist. He was an eldest son of the artist who, having achieved success, earned a living by teaching in Zurich. Thanks to the father in the childhood began to be fond of art of ink and at high school had the nickname "Kleks" (letters. "ink spot").

The classical test of Rorshakh includes the concrete "blots" tested on big selection of patients

In the test both black-and-white, and color drawings are used

Rorshakh considered that on the basis of the test of ink spots it is possible to define some of human lines and to reveal mental deviations and also strengths of the person and his internal resource. The prevalence at tested kinaesthetic answers (on the movement) is connected with introversivny type of experience, prevalence of color answers — with ekstratenzivny. Besides establishment of the general orientation of the personality ("experience type") Rorshakh's test allows to obtain diagnostic data on the degree of realness of perception of reality, the emotional relation to the world around, a tendency to concern, the uneasiness braking or stimulating activity of the person.

After school from which he graduated with honors Rorshakh came to college on medical faculty. In 1912 received degree of the doctor of medicine in University of Zurich and since then worked in various psychiatric clinics.

The combination of projective psychodiagnostics (integrative system) and art therapies yields positive results in therapy of neurosises. Today I witnessed how my colleague Yulia in several minutes (in this technique speed is important) helped the patient to get rid of a deep stress and to restore a resource state.

Briefly: you put glass on the sheet of white paper, on a glass rectangle you draw gouache or a watercolor the current state, then you put glass to a leaf of another (not white color). Then you make two iterations with even damp drawing.



As a result you analyze three drawings: initial, intermediate and final. All three have have different psychodiagnostic interpretation. Tremendous method, not less bright result, speed and positive dynamics of a condition of the patient.




I suggest you to play together with me a final part of this game. Write the associations from two drawings: left and right (it is about the lowermost, combined drawing).

What do you see on them?

What images and associations occur?

What it is similar in general and regarding concrete elements of the drawing to?

Do you see positive or negative images?

Try to invent a short story about what occurs on both pictures. At the same time present that the plot of right continues a plot of the left picture.


How you think what occurs on the left picture?

What occurred and what everything came to the end with?

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN BOTH DRAWINGS?
