Aging of schizophrenic patients as seen through the Rorschach test

The authors have repeated, on the average 29.7 years later, Rorschach test in 11 schizophrenic men and 19 schizophrenic women. This work was carried out in the course of a follow-up study of schizophrenics more than 65 years of age. Analysis of the records showed that the only differences between the first and second examinations were increases in animal and popular responses in old age. The authors have tried to relate these findings to the general trends of schizophrenic development in senescence.
