title: Clinical comparisons and Rorschach response differences between visual imagery reactors and nonreactors.
abstract: Rorschach cards were administered to psychotherapy patients under two conditions. In the imagery condition, cards were presented to each subject briefly, following which the cards were visualized with eyes closed and any visual imagery sequences were reported. This procedure was preceded by a standard Rorschach administration. Subjects were classified into Imagery Reactor and Nonreactor groups, according to the degree to which they responded to the instructions. The examples presented illustrate the qualitative differences in conflictual and affect-laden material between Reactors and Nonreactors which can be obtained in using this type of Rorschach based visual imagery technique.
