Loss of reality contact on the Rorschach: a formal analysis.
Based on an analysis of the TRAUT system for scoring autisms, it was concluded that a loss of reality contact on the Rorschach is indicated by responses that do not comply with the demand characteristics of the blots themselves or entail relationships among blot areas counter indicated by the demands of external reality. It was postulated that these same two perceptual/cognitive errors could be used as markers to signal problems with reality testing as they are manifested on other projective techniques.
