[Interpretation of the Rorschach's inkblot designs by patients with delusional forms of schizophrenia].

A study was made of interpretation of Rorschach's blots in 130 patients. Patients with acute affective delusional syndromes saw in the blots unusual details and provided a number of pathological phenomena reflecting affective tension, disorders of perception and thinking. In remissions, these disorders gradually disappeared. In patients with systematized interpretative delusion, interpretation of the blots was similar to that in normal subjects, being only marked by a certain tendency toward detailing and stereotypy. Patients with acute and chronic paraphrenic syndromes demonstrated tendencies toward integral and indistinct seeing of the blots, a decrease of the number of kinesthetic interpretations and pronounced inclination for stereotypy. Such disturbances are characteristic of patients with organic brain injury.
