[Evaluation of Piotrowsky's organic signs in the Rorschach test of patients with an early stage of dementia].

This paper aims at observing how frequently Piotrowsky's organic signs are detected when Rorschach test is administered to patients with suspected dementia. The organic group was a 15-patient sample, compared with a normal subjects control group. Both groups were similar as far as age, I.Q., and education were concerned. Our findings show that Perplexity was the sole item to get significant results. Out of the remaining signs, only two--namely, Movement and Automatic Phrases--were somewhere near a significant level. These findings were compared with other researchers'. Postulating that Perplexity, Movement, and Automatic Phrases might constitute useful clues when assessing the possibility of an early stage of dementia is the conclusion this article aims at.

Quantification of 'regressive thinking' by use of the Rorschach test. Leading symptom of the borderline syndrome?

In this study we have attempted to objectify the diagnosis of the borderline syndrome by the use of formal Rorschach testing criteria. The randomly selected protocols of 140 subjects between the ages of 17 and 25 were subjected to cluster analysis of currently accepted scoring criteria for such phenomena as prevalence of primary process thinking and disturbance of reality testing. We were unable to demonstrate a cluster of scored responses supposedly typical for the borderline syndrome. Conversely, however, the protocols of patients clinically diagnosed as borderline did show some 'typical' Rorschach signs.

[Sudden sexual violence and personality study using the Rorschach test].

The literature reveals that women subjected to sexual violence are more often afflicted with psychological problems for life, even long after the event. The Rorschach test was used to examine several victims of sexual violence in order to identify any significant structural elements. The outstanding features were a sexual and identity problem that persisted even in the absence of specific clinical problems as well as affective inhibition and borderline signs, particularly among the younger women on whom the sexual attack had been earlier and more dramatic.

The relationship of respiratory sinus arrhythmia to the co-activation of autonomic and facial responses during the Rorschach test.

We studied the relationship of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) to the co-activation of autonomic and facial expressive responses in 37 adult men during Rorschach testing. Interbeat interval (IBI), electrodermal activity, and facial electromyography were recorded continuously during the experiment. Prevailing mood and variability in the experience of valence and arousal were also measured. Bivariate intraindividual time series analysis was used to quantify spontaneously coupled phasic physiological responses. The results suggested that (a) spontaneous autonomic and expressive responses tend to parallel in time; (b) baseline, task-level, and task-induced change of RSA were positively related to coupled autonomic-expressive responses, a change in mood toward a more energetic state, and a tendency to have more variability in the emotional experience during the task; and (c) especially cardiac-expressive response coupling was related to mood change. It is concluded that the vagal system is related to the control of facial muscle activity and may mediate both tonic and phasic emotion-related changes in IBI. The role of phasic intraindividual response patterns in emotional and social behavior is highlighted.
