Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to report some observations on the Rorschach test in two cases of severe concussional head-injury. Detailed studies of such cases in the Rorschach literature are relatively few, and none, so far as the present writer is aware, includes observations on the test during the more acute phases of the post-traumatic disorder. In addition, therefore, to placing further cases of head-injury on record, it is hoped that our observations may throw light on the psychological changes associated with remission of the post-traumatic confusional state and recovery of normal consciousness. It is further hoped that the Rorschach observations made at a later stage of recovery in these cases may have some bearing on our knowledge and assessment of the chronic post-traumatic condition.Keywords
