Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study was performed to examine the maturity and quality of object representation on Rorschach test in borderline personality disorder patients.
Methods: Rorschach test was administered to 21 borderline personality disorder patients, 22 schizophrenics, and 26 neurotics. Rorschach data in three groups were rated in terms of MOA (Mutuality of Autonomy) scale, Blatt's developmental
analysis
of the concept of object on the Rorschach scoring procedure, and Exner's special scores. ANOVA and Scheffe test were used comparing Rorschach data in three groups.
Results: The responses on the Rorschach of the borderline personality disorder patients contain more bad MOA scores, MOR, (H) content with poor form quality that suggest negative object representation than two other groups. Schizophrenics
showed
more severe thought disturbance scores significantly. Borderline score more highly on the Blatt scale, but have a tendency of worse form quality in human response than schizophrenics. The results mean that borderlines tend to understand human
action as
more highly but human interaction as more malevolent in nature than do other patient groups. The data indicate that borderlines experience the object relational world in the way that is fundamentally different from the way other patients groups
perceive
it.
Conclusion: The results suggest that the MOA and Blatt scales of Rorschach tend to reflect negative and disturbed object representation typical for borderline personality disorder patients.
