These pages are devoted to the presentation and promotion of the Rorschach method, concentrating on the way it has been practiced within the classical European tradition - from Hermann Rorschach himself in 1921, via Ewald Bohm in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, and to the contemporary workers in the Rorschach-Bohm tradition. You can here find basic information about Hermann Rorschach, about the different Rorschach traditions and the essential differences between them, and about the current scientific debate on the Rorschach test. There are also some links to other Web pages devoted to the Rorschach method.
A major revision of the site began
in March 2020. The revision dates are found at the bottom of the
respective pages.
The picture of Hermann Rorschach on this page is from H. Ellenberger, The Discovery of the Unconscious (Basic Books 1970). Reproduced with kind permission from Institut Henri Ellenberger, Paris.

The International
Rorschach Society (a list of all
national societies can be found there)
European Rorschach Association (ERA) was dissolved in 2013 and replaced by:
CS International Rorschach Association (CSIRA/ARISI). CS stands for Exner's Comprehensive System.
Föreningen för Psykologisk Personlighetsbedömning (Association for Psychological Personality Assessment, in Swedish). Was: The Swedish Rorschach Society. Very useful if you know Swedish, and you can find stuff there even if you don't.
The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA; an American association with long traditions. Responsible for the Journal of Personality Assessment)
Rorschach Inkblot Test (American page, up since 1996)
Rorschach list This is a high quality discussion list centering on the CS Rorschach, but open also for near-lying topics. A great number of archived messages are available for members of the list.
Projectivetest list This e-mail discussion list was devoted to projective techniques, including Rorschach systems other than the CS, but was closed by Yahoo in late 2019.
Rorschach-discussions
This is a closed and so far very small Google discussion list that
was started in 2016. It is mainly meant for theoretical topics. Let
us revive it! The link goes to an e-mail address where you can
announce your interest in participating.
Hogrefe (Publisher of the test material and the basic European books. Now includes the former publisher Hans Huber)
PAR (Psychological Assessment Resources) (American distributors of Exner stuff, including the popular scoring program RIAP)
Psimatica (Spanish site. Sells some Rorschach books and gives online courses on related matters)
CHESSSS – an open-source software for
scoring and computing of the CS.
Ror-Scan (another much used scoring and interpretation program for the Exner system. Seems to be down)
The
Hermann Rorschach Archives and Museum (now at the Institute
for the History of Medicine in Bern. Both physical and
electronic. Absolutely essential if you want to do serious
historical research on Rorschach and his method)
Leopold Szondi Forum (a Swedish page devoted to another projective method. Still up and running although its founder recently celebrated his 100th birthday!)
