TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Toward a Rorschach Hope Index JO - Rorschachiana A1 - Scioli, A. A1 - Cofrin, M. A1 - Aceto, F. A1 - Martin, T. SP - 157 EP - 179 VL - 39 IS - 2 N2 - In this study, we derive a measure of hope from the Rorschach. Drawing on an integrative approach to hope, we identify six Rorschach variables, representing two dimensions each of: interpersonal perceptions, coping resources, and goal engagement. We empirically validate these variables against theoretically linked measures of attachment, coping, and mastery. We propose a Rorschach State Hope Index. To illustrate one potential benefit of this new measure, we apply the Hope Index retrospectively to an individual who died by suicide despite a relatively low score on the existing Suicide Constellation of the Comprehensive System. © 2018 Hogrefe Publishing.
