Est-ce que c'est vous même dans la glace?--the phenomenology of Rorschach expressive constraint

Abstract:
From the Rorschach Construct Scales, a sixth factor has been separated--termed Emotional and Expressive Constriction--in addition to the five established (Big Five) components of personality. Taking into account recent warnings that statistical techniques have the power to take away from the individual's interaction with the clinician, it is concluded that this Constriction factor in Rorschach-based data sets is a measure of the phenomenology of the Rorschach process, representing not only the client's disposition, but also reflecting the clinician.
