GHERARDI, Carla Araceli. Rorschach psychodiagnosis and helplessness pathologies: Presentation of a scale to measure the toxic and/or traumatic current. Subj. procesos cogn. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.119-130. ISSN 1852-7310.

This paper presents an application tool for the Rorschach psychodiagnosis: the TT scale aimed at measuring the prevalence of the toxic or traumatic currents manifested in subjectivity. The specific objectives are to apply the TT scale to a Rorschach protocol and to determine the percentage of participation of the toxic or traumatic currents in the subjectivity of the interviewee. Instrument: Rorschach psychodiagnosis and TT Scales. Sample: Rorschach protocol of an adult 58-year-old male kidnap victim, during the military dictatorship in Argentina. Results and conclusions: the results show that the toxic or traumatic currents play a highly significant part in the personality of the interviewee. This fact allows to record the present case within the pathologies of psychic helplessness in which the intrasomatic libido is a fixation point and the foreclosure of the affect is the main defense.

Keywords : Rorschach psychodiagnosis; Helplessness; TT Scales; Toxic; Traumatic.
