Extract

The application of the above test to epileptics is a useful subject for an article, firstly because Rorschach's findings for epileptics were established from a very small number of patients; secondly, there was, in his investigations, no subdivision of epileptics into mental categories other than those of “early” and “late” demented; thirdly, the references in literature to the application of this test to epileptics are so meagre; and fourthly, the results obtained in this particular investigation show a considerable diversity from those of Rorschach.
