Psychosomatic Diseases and the Rorschach Test

Pages 350-357 | Published online: 10 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

Despite numerous efforts to identify a Rorschach profile uniquely associated with and helpful in diagnosing psychosomatic conditions, none has been demonstrated to exist. Although certain Rorschach characteristics have been consistently observed in studies of patients with psychosomatic disease and can shed light on personality features of these individuals, similar characteristics are encountered in a variety of other conditions as well. This state of affairs is attributable not to shortcomings in the Rorschach test, but rather to inadequate conceptualization and categorization of psychosomatic disease.
