title: Maria Rickers-Ovsiankina: a Russian expatriate in America. A review of Rorschach Psychology.
abstract: This article is a review and reassessment of Rorschach Psychology, edited by Maria Rickers-Ovsiankina. The various chapters in the book are written with an attempt to tie Rorschach conceptualization to academic psychology and to various theoretical approaches. A wide range of theories are considered, including a gestalt psychology approach, an experiential-phenomenological approach, and several psychodynamic approaches (e.g., Freudian and Jungian theory). In addition, information is included about Rickers-Ovsiankina's early life and background, and the contents of many of the individual chapters are described and evaluated.
