“…Undoubtedly, that comes with practice. There is likely a developmental course in Rorschachers use of content: In fact, Potkay’s research (1971 [done pre-Comprehensive System]) showed that the vast majority of Rorschach clinicians use both structural and thematic content, also showing that clinicians who used both were more accurate than those who primarily relied on either of quantitative OR qualitative data. But the most experienced clinicians used the qualitative data to form hypotheses before using the quantitative data to verify these hypotheses.…”

Abstract. Content analysis is a late and contentious addition to the Rorschach canon. The determinants have ruled. Hermann Rorschach was at best, ambivalent about content analysis, focusing on the perceptual aspects of the process. Rorschachers have been not been conTENT about CONtent. The literature on the pros and cons and the how-to of content analysis is reviewed chronologically, concluding with eight issues and objections that have left Rorschach practitioners malcontent with content. Hoping to help practitioners improve the analysis of Rorschach content, ten suggestions, often with examples, are offered, these “hints” affecting both conceptualization and practice. A case fragment is appended to the review to host the above suggestions and to illustrate the (likely) less frequent “active evocation” of content to further the analysis.

“…An overly qualitative approach to,interpreting projective drawings may result in subjective bias and limited generalization. A more balanced approach by using both qualitative and quantitative sources of information is needed (Potkay, 1971). …”

This paper presents a globally oriented scoring sheet, reference guide, and rating scale for facilitating clinical hypotheses from children's Kinetic School Drawings (KSDs) and further empirical evaluations of the KSD technique. The paper also provides information regarding the construction of these instruments, along with some preliminary findings in terms of the procedures' reliability and discriminant validity.
