The test has recently been described as "more popular than ever" in Japan. The Japanese Rorschach Society is by far the largest in the world and the test is "routinely put to a wide range of purposes". He was so impressed that he started a craze for the test that has never diminished. Shortly after publication of Rorschach's book, a copy found its way to Japan where it was discovered by one of the country's leading psychiatrists in a second-hand book store. Although skeptical about its scientific validity, some psychologists use it in therapy and coaching "as a way of encouraging self-reflection and starting a conversation about the person's internal world." It is still used, however, by such prestigious mental health organisations as the Tavistock Clinic. Many psychologists in the United Kingdom do not trust its efficacy and it is rarely used. Īnother study found that its use by clinical psychologists was only 43%, while it was used less than 24% of the time by school psychologists. Īnother survey found that 124 out of 161 (77%) of clinical psychologists engaging in assessment services utilize the Rorschach, and 80% of psychology graduate programs teach its use. In custody cases, 23% of psychologists use the Rorschach to examine a child.
Forensic psychologists use the Rorschach 36% of the time. In a survey done in the year 2000, 20% of correctional psychologists used the Rorschach while 80% used the MMPI. The Rorschach test is used almost exclusively by psychologists. Had we started with a set of weather reports and stuck with them though, maybe not much else would be different.Īnyway, here are some excerpts from Wikipedia about usage: United States Hence we have a better understanding of how people normally react to them, and some catalog of unusual reactions that have been associated with particular characteristics. My former advisor once worked with a clinician who told him that the main reason they're any better than using the weather report as a projective stimulus is that the Rorschach tests have been in use as-is for decades. Yes, they are still in use, and they provide rather bad information.
