title: The extrapolated area response: a pathognomic sign of mania on the Rorschach?
abstract: A pathognomic sign of mania, the Extrapolated Area Response (EAR), was described and explicated within the context of the TRAUT (Tripartite Classification of Autisms) system of categorizing Rorschach autisms. The EAR was interpreted as reflecting a person's tendency to expand his ambit beyond the confines of objective reality. Empirical validation is required.
