Abstract

A critique of our Rorschach research on the experience, symbolization, and psychological processing of trauma makes some valid points, but overlooks both the study's exploratory, hypothesis‐generating nature and our integration of historical, clinical, psychotherapeutic, and empirical perspectives. Our examination of the relationship of trauma to inner symbolization and to emotional responsiveness to the environment reveals the critics' narrow understanding of the Rorschach and misconceptions regarding trauma. Further research cited replicates but also challenges our initial findings.
