  • Title: [The Rorschach's test for heroin addicts treated by methadone: from reality to imaginary].
    Author: Deslandes C, Gourarier L, Sanchez M, Lowenstein W.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 2000 Oct; 151 Suppl B():B61-4. PubMed ID: 11104948.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to analyze the role of the imaginary and its link with reality among 30 subjects treated by methadone. The Rorschach test was proposed to 30 heroin addicts treated by methadone, over an average 7 months. The formal answers (used preferentially in the 30 results, though often inappropriately) and socializing landmarks involving considerable individual investment, we were able to identify two ways of working within the same protocol. The first relies most on conformity and adaptation and tries to put the imaginary aside. The second is a more projective, unorganized approach evidencing the influence of the imaginary. This specific imaginary activity could not be assimilated with the traditional "lack of fantasy" observed in heroin addicts. It would be interesting to examine the course of this approach over a longer period.
