Rorschach findings for patients with pseudoseizures

Psychol Rep. 1999 Oct;85(2):439-44. doi: 10.2466/pr0.1999.85.2.439.

Abstract

This study used the Rorschach test to investigate the possible differences between a carefully selected group of 16 patients with pseudoseizures, defined as spontaneous behavior resembling partial complex epilepsy and with or without tonic clonic generalization, and a group of 12 epileptic patients with partial complex seizures. Analysis of the structural data of protocols does not support a significant difference in the Rorschach findings between the two groups.
