Use of the Rorschach to Predict Whether a Person Would Benefit from Psychotherapy

Abstract

The research indicates that form level turns out to be the variable which was related to response to treatment, psychiatric as well as psychological, and provided as much information regarding prognosis as could be derived from either the Beck or Klopfer Prognostic Indices. The kind of research now needed in this area of study was discussed.
