Hermann Rorschach
Hermann
Rorschach was born in Zurich on November 8, 1884. He grew up in
Schaffhausen. He studied medicine, in Zurich. He was associate
director of the mental hospital in Herisau when he died at the age
of 38, on April 1, 1922, only nine months after the publication of
his Psychodiagnostik.
During the time since it was first used, the Rorschach Test has grown in importance to become one of the best psychodiagnostic tools and gives its users important understanding of others. It seems certain that the International Society of the Rorschach and Projective Methods has played an important role in supervising and promoting the scientific interpretation of the Rorschach.
