Consistency of Response Pattern on Rorschach after an Interval of 14 Years: A Case Report.

Rorschach Inkblot test has been in use in India since 1947 and was used with diverse clinical and non-clinical population. In the recent period it is primarily used with the clinical population. Different scoring systems are followed in the country. Though research findings showed the usefulness of Rorschach Inkblot Test in diagnosis, understanding psychopathology and in therapy, research interest related to the use of the Rorschach Inkblot Test in India appears to be declining. There is a need to revitalise the training on its use, interpretation and research. The case report of a patient who had not undergone psychotherapy and showed the consistency of the responses even after an interval of fourteen years is presented. Probably there are a group of patients who maintain their perceptual structure, unaffected by ageing and input from environment, in the absence of receiving any form of psychotherapy.
