Fascinating at the start but later the book gets into more
of details with in the professional of psychological. This may go over the head of many but still a
great biography behind the man of inkblots.
The story of the of Rorschach life and what lead him to the inkblot testing
is an interesting story. The author provides a huge amount of research in this
book. He provides Rorschach childhood,
his start in the field of psychology and how it is incorporated into today
psychology practices. The test developed
was intended to understand how people see things. Unfortunately, after his death the true
meaning behind the test loses its focus and leads to another path that was most
likely not really what he had intended.
The author’s research into how the Rorschach test was originally
conceived is what I found the most interested part of the book. Further research go into detail around what other
psychologists and psychiatrists did with the test. This lead to how it was measured and
interpreted. Again, I find the first part
of the book which is mainly his biography the more interesting part of the book
and what life events lead him to developing the inkblot test. The unanswered questions because of Rorschach
untimely death makes you wonder what the test could have been like if he had
lived longer.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook
Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of this book.
