'Rorschach' Wikipedia Entry Angers Some Psychologists
According to the New York Times, the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Saskatchewan is now investigating Heilman because of complaints from two psychologists who claim that his actions represent "serious misconduct" and "disrespect." Heilman likened the investigation to "intimidation tactics," adding that the complaining parties are "trying to close the doors on scientific discourse."
A study published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest concluded that the Rorschach test is generally not all that reliable, saying that "clinical evaluations should be based on more dependable assessment techniques, such as structured psychiatric interviews." It seems, then, that the only doctors Heilman may be disrespecting are those who'd rather rely on the results of a possibly outdated and biased test.

Actually, as a therapist myself, I can say that the Rorschach is NOT used as a "standard" test any longer. It is a subjective test that only reveals how the person views the images that are viewed by the person taking the test. Other, much more reliable subjective tests are used today, but subjective tests are just that -- SUBJECTIVE and the results are filtered through the personal biases of the person doing the intepretation. For those psychologists and therapists that are in an uproar about the ink blots being revealed to the public, well perhaps they need to review their own education and update their methodology when working with clients.
