Abstract

ZUANAZZI, Ana Carolina  and  RIBEIRO, Rafaela Larsen. Projective tests in psychological assessment of schizophrenia: a review of Brazilian literature. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.2, pp.71-91. ISSN 2236-6407.

This article aimed to investigate the Brazilian's production about the use of projective/expressive instruments for psychological assessment in patients with schizophrenia. To do that, we made a review of Brazilian literature in databases Scielo, Lilacs, Medline, Pepsic, and Index Psicologia from descriptors “assessment and schizophrenia” and one of the terms: Rorschach, TAT, HTP, Pfister, Zulliger, Palográfico, or PMK. Ten papers were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight percent of the articles were published in the past decade, and the Rorschach is the most used instrument in this context. No studies were found with tests HTP, Palográfico, PMK, or Zulliger. Despite the reduced number of studies in the Brazilian literature, the use of projective instruments in psychological assessment of schizophrenic enriches the diagnosis and verification of capabilities and emotional difficulties and the perception of reality in this population.

Keywords : projective techniques; psychological assessment; schizophrenia; literature review; Rorschach test.
