abstract="Six experienced clinicians interpreted the Rorschach of Ms. B., an 18-year-old patient who had been referred for psychological testing following a severe suicide attempt. The clinicians each conducted a blind interpretation of Ms. B.'s Rorschach from six different psychoanalytic schools of thought, which included ego psychology, object relations, self psychology, interpersonal theory, the French psychoanalytic school, and attachment theory. In their interpretations of Ms. B.'s Rorschach, the clinicians organized their formulations according to the following set of questions: (1) How does your model aid in a diagnostic understanding of Ms. B.'s internal experience and personality functioning? What unique aspects of her functioning does your model address?; (2) What features of her Rorschach (formal scores, indices, thematic content, behavior) lend themselves particularly well to your psychoanalytic model?; and (3) How does your model guide you in addressing the referral questions and in making inferences about treatment issues based on Ms. B.'s Rorschach (e.g., type of treatment, intensity, potential transference-countertransference themes, need for supportive interventions). A discussant integrates the interpretations of Ms. B.'s Rorschach from multiple psychoanalytic perspectives. © 2017 Hogrefe Publishing.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
