The author offers an account of his evolving relationship with the Rorschach test which for over 20 years as a private practice psychologist, he used in his clinical practice with the intent of mining patients' psyches for useful information about personality organization and functioning. Coinciding with having found himself on the homestretch of analytic training and during a time when he desired clarity on how Rorschach assessment and Jungian analysis could fruitfully merge, there was an unexpected shift in emphasis wherein the Rorschach suddenly became a method for looking at himself as well. This challenge to identify and integrate aspects of self hitherto neglected was found to enrich his clinical practice. An historical perspective on this experience is offered which highlights the enigmatic relationship that existed between Carl Jung and Hermann Rorschach. The proverbial question of 'What might this be?' has been asked when administering the Rorschach for nearly a century. From an analytic perspective, the question is more fully and meaningfully asked when the person doing the asking has also been willing to step in, look around, and take notice of what happens.
作者讲述了他与罗夏墨迹测验不断演变的关系。作为一名从事私人执业20多年的心理学家，他在临床实践中使用该测验，旨在挖掘患者的心理，获取有关人格组织和功能的有用信息。就在他发现自己即将完成分析训练时，以及在他希望弄清楚罗夏墨迹测验评估与荣格分析如何能够卓有成效地融合的时期，重点出现了意外的转变，罗夏墨迹测验突然也变成了一种审视他自己的方法。他发现，应对识别并整合此前被忽视的自我方面这一挑战丰富了他的临床实践。本文提供了对这段经历的历史视角，突出了卡尔·荣格与赫尔曼·罗夏之间存在的神秘关系。在实施罗夏墨迹测验的近一个世纪里，人们一直在问那个著名的问题：“这可能是什么？”从分析的角度来看，当提问者也愿意介入、环顾四周并留意所发生的事情时，这个问题会得到更全面、更有意义的追问。
