The diagnosis of neurotic disturbance in children and adolescents can be an exceedingly complex decision given the impact of developmental and situational factors on aspects of personality organization and personality style. The potential for rapid regression, rapid development, and incomplete structuralization of personality organization and style complicates our understanding of the meaning of particular symptoms or behavior. The Rorschach offers help in sorting through these issues because it can uniquely assess aspects of personality organization, personality style, and the impact of developmental or situational factors.
