ABSTRACT
In a library consisting of all that has been written on Rorschach's test, the section on young children would occupy only an alcove. Even at the height of the test's popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, its acceptance as an instrument for the assessment of preschool children was limited (Anderson and Higham, 1956). Certainly most studies of young children's Rorschachs have arisen out of scientific curiosity rather than conviction that the technique can make major contributions in diagnosis and treatment. Hence, it is hardly surprising to find that publications on preschool children constitute only a small fraction of those on the use of the test with children, which, in turn, constitute only a small fraction of the Rorschach literature as a whole (Levitt and Truuma, 1972).
