between a manic episode of bipolar affective disorder and a clinical picture of
schizophrenia, in which delirium, disorganised behaviour and hallucination
known as positive symptoms of schizophrenia, dominate in today’s world. The two
disease groups’ characteristic patterns of thought, emotion and bahaviour are
alike in the exitation picture and this makes it difficult for a clinician to
make a distinctive diagnosis. In this survey, it is aimed to evaluate the
diagnostic feature of the test for a distinctive diagnosis comparing the two
disease groups by use of the Rorschach Test. In consequence of a survey of 200
patients, findings have beeen statistically significant in patients cognitive
and affective process, their ego functions, their level of interpersonal and
social adaptation, their object relations, their level of immaturity and
impulsivity and their level of anxiety; on the other hand their level of
regression has not been different. Results reveal that the Rorschach test is
able to distinguish patients with schizophrenia from those with a manic episode
of bipolar affective disorder and that a distinctive diagnosis can be made by
the Rorschach test. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
