“…However, it can be difficult to evaluate patients in such a way that allows for the richness of the patient’s internal world to emerge. Performance-based measures such as the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT; Murray, 1943) and the Rorschach (Rorschach, 1951) are particularly useful for assessing mental representations and changes as they unfold throughout the process of psychotherapy (Bram & Yalof, 2015) thanks to their capacity to assess deeper, structural intrapsychic changes that may not yet have manifested behaviorally or, paradoxically, may cause a temporary increase in symptoms.In this article, the authors outline several developmental frameworks of personality that focus on the way a patient constructs their reality, including their sense of self and relationships with others. The authors then discuss a primarily qualitative approach to assessment and demonstrate how using a developmental framework to guide the interpretation of qualitative data can illuminate the complex processes of growth that the patient undergoes during psychotherapy.The authors provide a detailed analysis of the data from a single TAT and Rorschach card over a series of assessments that occurred over the span of two and a half years while the patient was in long-term psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy.…”

“…Cependant, il peut être difficile d’évaluer les patients de manière à laisser émerger une richesse du monde interne du patient. Les tests basés sur les performances tels que le test d’aperception thématique (TAT; Murray, 1943) et le Rorschach (Rorschach, 1951) sont particulièrement utiles pour évaluer les représentations mentales et les changements qui se produisent au cours du processus de psychothérapie (Bram & Yalof, 2015) leur capacité à évaluer des changements intrapsychiques structurels plus profonds qui peuvent ne pas encore se manifester par le comportement ou, paradoxalement, peuvent provoquer une augmentation temporaire des symptômes.Dans cet article, les auteurs décrivent plusieurs cadres de développement de la personnalité qui mettent l’accent sur la façon dont un patient construit sa réalité, y compris son sens de soi et ses relations avec les autres. Les auteurs discutent ensuite d’une approche essentiellement qualitative de l’évaluation et montrent comment l’utilisation d’un cadre de développement pour guider l’interprétation des données qualitatives peut éclairer les processus complexes de croissance auxquels le patient est soumis au cours d’une psychothérapie.Les auteurs fournissent une analyse détaillée des données d’une seule carte TAT et Rorschach sur une série d’évaluations effectuées sur une période de deux ans et demi alors que le patient suivait une psychothérapie à long terme à orientation psychanalytique.…”

“…Within the FIPRACS, the evaluation of psychoaffective elements is based on the Rorschach projective test. This choice is firstly based on the notion that combining psychodynamic and neurocognitive assessments can facilitates the comprehension of clinical and institutional difficulties (82,83). Furthermore, the Rorschach Assessment Comprehensive System is considered valid for certain psychoaffective aspects owing to a recent meta-analysis (84).…”
