[Heart transplantation experience: Rorschach test five years after surgery].
This paper presents some reflections on the experience of heart transplantation on the basis of Rorschach tests, collected from fifteen patients who underwent cardiac transplantation five years before. We suggest the use of six criteria: responses to Card I; movement (M, MA, m) as a key determinant; importance of surfaces and middle line; responses to Cards IV and VI; responses to Card X; complexual response, if present. Performances show problems related to the integration of the acquired organ. This process is long and difficult but easier in those patients who succeeded in working-through the graft re-acquisition.
