Italian Institute for Rorschach and Integrated Psychodiagnostics

Scientific-cultural association whose purpose is the popularization of psychodiagnostic techniques inherent in all areas of investigation in psychology, with special reference, as far as personality investigation is concerned, to the Rorschach test according to the Comprehensive System method of J. E. Exner Jr.

Our activities

IRPSI also participates in research, updating, dissemination and innovation activities in the Comprehensive System through close collaboration with international authors, and in particular through participation in the International Rorschach Institute.

Essential elements of our conception of psychodiagnostics are the integration of psychodiagnostic instruments of different types and the collaborative dimension of the relationship between clinician and subject.

IRPSI aims to:

– Activate postgraduate training courses for psychologists and psychiatrists who want to train or perfect their skills in psychodiagnostics, through lectures and both face-to-face and online supervision activities.

– To disseminate a psychodiagnostic assessment model characterized by the multi-method mode and the centrality of the subject/patient and empathy in the psychodiagnostic pathway.

– Maintain an ongoing continuing education and training activity for its members, with regular meetings, journal clubs and international workshops.

– Conducting field research that consolidates and enhances knowledge in psychodiagnostics, both clinical and forensic.

– Consistently participate in international congresses by presenting original clinical case and research contributions.

– To contribute to the maintenance and dissemination of a psychodiagnostic culture equally centered on the subject/patient and methodological rigor.
