differentiating unipolar and bipolar depression contribution of the Rorschach Test comprehensive system
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2020Co-Authors: Tristan Le Chevanton, Damien Fouques, Djaouida Petot, Sabrina Juliensweerts, Mircea PolosanAbstract:OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to contribute to differential diagnoses of unipolar and bipolar depression using cognitive variables of the Rorschach Test (Comprehensive System). METHOD One hundred forty one depressed inpatients (71 bipolar, 70 unipolar; mean age = 46, SD = 15.8; 64% women) previously evaluated and comparable regarding clinical characteristics of their illness (including current mood symptoms) were blindly Tested using the Rorschach Test (C.S.). RESULTS The cognitive profile of bipolar depressed patients was more impaired than the cognitive profile of unipolar depressed patients. Combining four cognitive specificities (tolerance to ambiguity, discrimination failure, difficulties in controlling ideational impulses, and impulsive or negligent processing) in a logistic regression model allows the identification of bipolarity with acceptable accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Some aspects of cognitive functioning, as assessed with the Rorschach Test (CS), appear to be useful to capture some important cognitive specificities of bipolar depression and could contribute to differential diagnoses of mood disorders.

the Rorschach Test and gilles de la tourette s syndrome a pilot case control study
Brain & Development, 2009Co-Authors: Umberto Balottin, Maura Rossi, Giorgio Rossi, Lucia Viganò, Marta Nanti, Silvia Salini, Giovanni Lanzi, Cristiano TermineAbstract:Abstract Background: To date only three studies, all lacking a control group, have investigated the personality style underlying tic disorders or Tourette's syndrome (TS), using the projective Rorschach Test. Despite the recent controversy about its proper use in clinical practice and research, the Rorschach Test may be useful to explore personality organization in TS. The research hypothesis under investigation in this exploratory study was that young TS patients exhibit a peculiar personality organization, with significantly increased indicators of poor emotional control, aggression, anxiety and depression, on the Rorschach Test, compared to healthy controls. Methods: We analyed the Rorschach protocols of 17 newly diagnosed paediatric TS patients and 17 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results: Compared with the controls young TS patients recorded significantly lower mean percentages of F and F + responses and a significantly higher number of FM and FC responses, thus showing reduced control of emotions and difficulty in integrating aggressivity. Furthermore, associations emerged between comorbidity with ADHD and increased emotional instability and between severity of tics and of OCD and a pattern of emotional hyper-control and application of rigid defensive mechanisms. Conclusions: These results seem to confirm the existence of a peculiar personality style in young TS patients and may have important implications, both pathogenetic and therapeutic.
