Description
The first ever study of the Rorschach test in India, this refreshing book provides a clinical-experiential-cultural perspective with special reference to India's cultural traditions, relating the test to literature, films and the routines of everyday life.
A testimony to the timelessness of Rorschach's method of understanding personality, this book demystifies and simplifies the clinical and empirical aspects of the test by providing a real-life context for evaluating responses to inkblots.

Reviews / Votes
`It is extremely satisfying to note that the book is not a mere repetition of similar pieces of work. The authors have succeeded in providing a pragmatic and original perspective about several issues... The book is technically sound as it incorporates several illustrative examples, drawn from Indian patients and good narrative accounts of various coding procedures. Individual cases are discussed in a lucid way... It is useful as a manual for students' - Indian Journal of Medical ResearchMore details
