The published Rorschach (Kaiser, 1970) of Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated presidential aspirant Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, was studied. Psychostructural and psychodynamic analyses were conducted using reliable and valid methodology that was unavailable at the time of examination. In contrast to the defense experts at trial who diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia, the data suggest a depressed and suicidal individual organized at a borderline level of personality. Character pathology is hysterical, paranoid, and dependent. When the Rorschach findings are compared to the development history of Sirhan and the behavior around the time of the assassination, the data are somewhat consistent with the theme of psychic trauma, are very consistent with the theme of recurrent loss and pathological mourning, and validate a characterological distrust and hatred of, yet hysterical dependence on, the object world. Rorschach indices of predatory violence (Meloy, 1988a) in relation to the planned and purposeful assassination are also discussed.
对刺杀总统候选人罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的希尔汉·希尔汉所发表的罗夏墨迹测验结果(凯泽,1970年)进行了研究。采用了可靠且有效的方法进行心理结构和心理动力学分析,而这些方法在测试时并不存在。与审判时诊断为偏执型精神分裂症的辩护专家不同,数据表明这是一个处于边缘人格水平的抑郁且有自杀倾向的个体。性格病理表现为癔症性、偏执性和依赖性。当将罗夏墨迹测验结果与希尔汉的成长史以及刺杀前后的行为进行比较时,数据在一定程度上与心理创伤主题相符,与反复丧失和病理性哀悼主题非常相符,并证实了对客体世界的性格性不信任和仇恨以及癔症性依赖。还讨论了与有计划、有目的刺杀相关的掠夺性暴力的罗夏墨迹测验指标(梅洛伊,1988年a)。
