[The experience of the corporal self and the Rorschach test in severe obesity under medical-surgical treatment].
Purpose of this study is an investigation about the experience on the body Self and many relevant symbolic meanings in the massive obesity before and after the surgical therapy as well as a checking of the former obese patients in order to find out if such a heavy intervention may involve a modification of the body Self Perception in comparison with the former massive obesity situation. The investigation covered a sample group of 82 patients, and 12 of them were submitted again, after one year, to the Rorschach test with relevant evaluation through the Rausch de Trauenberg Self Representation Scale. The data thus obtained were considered again in a later phase by means of a sub-group of 10 obese patients compared with two checking groups consisting of subjects suffering from addiction pathologies (alcohol and opiate dependence) by means of the same method.
