Résumé Les données normatives françaises du Rorschach à l’adolescence et chez le jeune adulte. L’article rend compte du premier volet d’une recherche portant sur la réactualisation des normes du Rorschach : l’ensemble portera sur 900 protocoles de sujets âgés de 13 à 85 ans, répartis en trois catégories socio-professionnelles représentatives de la population française. Il présente l’historique des normes antérieures, la méthodologie de recherche et les premiers résultats issus d’une population d’adolescents et jeunes adultes (13-25 ans). Cet apport original de normes “ adolescentes ” révèle paradoxalement une continuité des résultats avec les normes antérieures, à l’exception de modifications dans l’abord perceptif et les banalités. Les comparaisons par sexe, tranches d’âge et catégories socioprofessionnelles font émerger des différences notables de fonctionnement sous l’effet des catégories socio-culturelles, ouvrant des perspectives de recherche sur ce sujet. L’article présente en annexe la liste des Ban et des nouveaux D issus de cette population.

Recently I was asked to select from my various papers on clinical psychology the one I preferred and in which I expressed most clearly my approach as a clinical psychologist. This led me to think about what has been the main theme of my research, clinical practice, teaching activities, and scientific papers. I would like to call this theme a sensitivity toward all that is interactive and linking. This sensitivity, initially intuitive, became a systematic search for relationships and interactions.Looking back at the various steps in my professional as well as personal life, I came across this sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden framework. My personal motivation could not have been better served than by the Rorschach, a sensitive test capable of revealing many such links. This could be reversed, however, and I could equally well propose that I became aware of this personal motivation through the Rorschach.Are we really entitled to look for a link between the choice of our working tool and of our internal attitude? I think that it is worthwhile to do so, each of us for himself or herself, just as it is important to maintain awareness of the role played by our intuition in data interpretation, because this intuition complements scientific competence.Finally, I chose as my preferred paper the lecture I gave during the X International Congress of Rorschach and Projective Methods in Barcelona, published later in France under the title "The Rorschach, a Space for Interactions" (1985). I would like to devote these pages to the presentation and development of this theme.
