Abstract
1. The graphic Rorschach technique was applied to 28 mental hospital patients diagnosed as schizophrenic. Certain features of performance were found to be common to a large percentage of the group and a “composite schizophrenic deviation pattern” was described. 2. Criteria for good prognosis were isolated which indicated outcome correctly in 23 out of 28 cases. The standard for good prognosis was at least 35 per cent of “3” ratings, and dominance of blot over concept no greater than a blot-concept quotient of +.10. 3. The presence of “1” ratings was associated with the presence of hallucinations in 12 out of 13 cases. A small number of other patients also had hallucinations. 4. There was no observable relationship between the presence of delusional ideas and any feature of the graphic Rorchach performance. 5. There was no observable relationship between the presence of any single schizophrenic sign or constellation of signs in the verbal Rorschach record and any feature of the graphic Rorschach performance.
