Abstract

Psychological condition in a victim of domestic violence (DV) was investigated using the Rorschach test. Results of the Rorschach analysis indicated that : 1) the pure form response rate (F%) was low, 2) the inanimate movement responses (m) was frequent, and 3) the total of positive form response rate (R+%) was low. These results correspond to characteristics of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that has been observed by past studies. Personality characteristics of the DV victim investigated in this study and the possibility of her recovery were indicated by 1) frequency of unusual detail responses (Dd), 2) stable emotional control (FC>CF+C), 3) the ambiaeqaler experience balance , 4) and appropriate popular responses (P). The relationship between DV and PTSD, the psychological condition in a victim of DV and effective psychological support for recovery from DV are discussed on the basis of the above findings.
