English to Italian: Rorshach indicators of PTSD General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English The complexity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) makes it difficult to assess and diagnose the syndrome. Most diagnostic tools are based on self-report questionnaires and are thus susceptible to both conscious and unconscious biases. Projective techniques, including the Rorschach inkblot test, might overcome these shortcomings. This retrospective study analyzed 187 Rorschach protocols, 4 or more years after the diagnosis (PTSD vs. non-PTSD) had been determined. The protocols were coded into the computer version of Exner’s Comprehensive System (RIAP5) (Exner, 2005) and then analyzed statistically, using linear regression. A 13-item model was found to significantly predict 36.6% of PTSD patients.
Translation - Italian La complessità del Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress (DPTS) rende difficile valutare e diagnosticare la sindrome. La maggior parte degli strumenti diagnostici si basa su questionari autoriferiti ed è dunque soggetta a distorsioni sia coscienti che inconsce. Queste limitazioni potrebbero essere superate con l'impiego di tecniche proiettive, incluso il Test delle Macchie d'inchiostro di Rorschach. Questo studio retrospettivo ha preso in esame 187 protocolli Rorschach, somministrati dopo 4 anni o più dalla diagnosi (di DPTS o non-DPTS). I protocolli sono stati siglati con la versione computerizzata del Sistema Comprensivo di Exner (RIAP5) , quindi analizzati statisticamente mediante la regressione lineare. E' emerso che un modello a 13 item predice in maniera significativa il 36,6% dei pazienti con Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress.
