Rigorous Method

After many years of clinical practice, research and the teaching of projective tests, Shentoub and her colleagues (Debray, Brelet, Chabert & al.) put forward an original and rigorous method of analysis and interpretation of the TAT protocols in terms of psychoanalysis and clinical psychopathology. They developed the TAT process theory in order to understand how the subject builds a narrative. Our article will emphasize the source of the analytical approach developed by V. Shentoub in the 1950s to current research; the necessity of marking the boundary between the manifest and latent content in the cards; the procedure for analyzing the narrative, supported by an analysis sheet for understanding the stories' structure and identifying the defense mechanisms; and how developing hypotheses about how the mental functions are organized, as well as their potential psychopathological characteristics; and the formulation of a diagnosis in psychodynamic terms. In conjunction with the analysis and interpretation of the Rorschach test, this approach allows us to develop an overview of the subject's mental functioning, taking into account both the psychopathological elements that may threaten the subject and the potential for a therapeutic process. We will illustrate this by comparing neurotic, borderline, and psychotic personalities.

Heroin Users

Rorschach test scores for male heroin users and nonusers ( ns = 15 each) were compared, to ascertain whether use of heroin influences intellectual impairment (as measured by such indicators of intellectual functioning as F+% and W+% responses). While the results show intellectual impairment to be greater in heroin users than in nonusers, the parametric and nonparametric indicators do not consistently show more marked impairment in long-term (4 to 5 yr. of addiction) than in short-term users (1 to 2 yr.). While intellectual functioning clearly seems influenced by heroin use, further research is required to ascertain the effect of the length of use either by comparing test and retest scores over a substantial interval or by matching samples including subjects with even longer careers of addiction.
