Os processos primários, secundários e terciários em Rorschach: uma compreensão fenomenológica e uma proposta de valoração

Abstract

From a proposal of validation of the perceptive structures of the Rorschach psychodiagnose, in a continuous evolutionary perspective, a phenomenological investigation took place to assess how the psychic processes are configured – primary pathological, that evidences regressive phenomena of fixation and destabilization; the pathology trace, which denounces pathological indications; the primary naive, indicative of potentially open structures and far from negative connotations; the secondary ones, that express an intentional conscience, that orders, rationalizes and administers their emotions in a compatible way according to the demands of the reality; the tertiaries, that reveal systemic minds in a highly integrated synthesis activity in the order of the imagination and logic, of the primary and secondary processes. 110 subjects were evaluated, 30 being children, 30 schizophrenic, 30 adults and 20 artists. The data obtained showed a configuration of trace pathologyc processes very similar to the four groups. The secondary processes evidenced significant statistic differences among the schizophrenic ones, artists and adults, marking peculiar conducts of each group, except for the children's group and schizophrenic’s group, that themselves due to the little frequency of secondary productions. The children stood out in the psychic productions of potentialities and, the schizophrenic ones in the pathological psychic configurations. The artists stood out by the tertiary productions, the dispositions in the naive primary processes and for the pathological tendencies. In that sense, the data suggest that there is an innocent and open glance in the artist for the experience as it is in the child’s look, as well as a certain proximity of the insanity. However, the warranty of the secondary process, always present, permits the artist to transit through all the psychic instances without feeling threatened by ones pulses and ones ability of tertiary integration allows a search for wider and original solutions, revealing a deep insight of great human meaning. The practical applications of the validation of the primary, secondary and tertiary processes in the clinical evaluations of any area, were also exposed.
