Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.
A lot is crammed into this book. I found the biography part of the book more interesting; but not for lack of interesting topics in the second half.

**This was an advanced reader copy won through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program.**

A partir de que momento manchas aparentemente aleatórias foram usadas para tentar entender a mente de uma pessoa pela primeira vez? Como o seu criador, Hermann Rorschach, chegou à ideia das manchas? Teriam elas aparecido em um insight? Elas são mesmo aleatórias? E como que se tornaram tão populares? Muitos podem pensar a princípio no personagem de Watchmen (criação de Alan Moore e Dave Gibbons que dos quadrinhos saltou para as telas do cinema e da TV), que carrega as manchas do teste na máscara. É comum ver o teste em ação em obras de entretenimento e de arte, ou até mesmo em propagandas e vitrines, mas poucos têm acesso às verdadeiras placas usadas para o procedimento e somente profissionais treinados da área da psicologia são capazes de aplicá-lo corretamente. No ano em que o teste de Rorschach (como esse procedimento é conhecido até hoje) completa 100 anos, e a DarkSide® Books traz a obra Teste De Rorschach: A Origem em sua linha Crime Scene, dedicado a livros de investigação criminal e de casos de criminosos notórios. Chegou a hora de uma ferramenta tão usada pela criminologia e tão reconhecida pela psicologia ser desvendada por nossos leitores. Damion Searls traça uma cuidadosa linha do tempo do teste, atravessada pela biografia de seu criador, Hermann Rorschach, pelos primeiros embates entre as grandes mentes da psicanálise, como Sigmund Freud e Carl Jung, com o ambiente da Europa no começo do século XX, de pano de fundo. Mesmo com todo o rigor científico no qual o teste está envolto, Teste De Rorschach: A Origem mostra o quanto existe de artístico e intuitivo tem em todo o processo de sua concepção, desenvolvimento e aprimoramento. Uma obra indicada para especialistas, para interessados em investigação e para todas as pessoas que querem entender mais profundamente os mecanismos ocultos de nossos pensamentos e reações.… (plus d'informations)

Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com

This title immediately interested me, even though I've always been skeptical about the Rorschach test. I've however never taken one, and I hold a degree in neither psychiatry nor psychology. But I'm a scientist, so the parts where Rorschach is optimizing his test (stating he needs many more subjects both healthy and diseases, blind interpretation of tests and a standardized form of scoring good and bad answers) were among my favorites, as it seemed quite far ahead of his time.

The book however, is more of a dual biography of Rorschach but especially his test. I liked the first part (also see above) which focused on Rorschach as he's developing his test. After his untimely death in the 1920s (which is only halfway through the book) the focus changes to what happened to the test afterwards.

This latter part had great trouble to hold my interest. It seemed to contain a series of always new people quarreling about who is the new Rorschach. It is here that the test starts to falter in the hands of people who all want to prove themselves (some trying to standardize it but resulting in over diagnosis of most everyone), although I was quite shocked to find out it can be used as evidence in court (since it is not an unquestioned test). This part is also filled with quite a lot of other test and terms from personality testing, not all of it is explained well enough that it is not confusing.

All in all, I really enjoyed the biography of Rorschach, I didn't quite like the one about his test as much.

Thanks to Blogging for Books and Edelweiss for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I read about half of this. It just keeps on going without ever really getting anywhere.

I read this book in German translation.
