The methodology sheet

The first interpretive approach to the Rorschach is undoubtedly that which refers to the psychometric dimension-that is, the study of the signatures, indices, percentages and averages, which make up the Mirror of Computations or Psychogram.

The Roman Rorschach School has, since its origins, attached the utmost importance to the study of acronyms, considering it the indispensable basis of Rorschach psychodiagnostics.

Over time, the Method has integrated the most significant contributions of the international Rorschach literature: the studies of Binder on chiaroscuro, those of Piotrowski on movements, Loosli Usteri on Chocs, the studies of Klopfer, Silveira, Beizman, Beck, Bohm, and many other contemporary scholars such as Exner in the United States and Passalacqua in Latin America.

In nearly seventy years of study and research, the Method has refined and evolved, providing stability, security and timeliness to the psychodiagnostic report.

Among the latest significant updates to the method, the classification system of Particular Manifestations divided into three levels and the organization of Contents into eight different categories with specific psychodiagnostic value are considered of particular interest. These updates to the acronym system have proven to be of great help, particularly in the clinical setting for differential diagnosis and prognostic assessments.
