Dear friends and colleagues, we are pleased to announce the
The congress will be held in Milan, in the historic fifteenth-century building of the University of Milan, Via Festa del Perdono 7, “La Statale,” on September 14-15-16, 2023, under the sponsorship of the Department of Psychology, University of Milan, Department of Health Sciences.
The theme at the center of this fourth congress is really important for all those who practice the Comprehensive System and also for those interested in the developments and extraordinary interpretive power of the Rorschach Test.
In fact, all those who use the Rorschach CS test in their practice are well aware of its power in describing the subtle facets of psychic functioning and appreciate its depth, as much in clinical as in research and forensic medicine, and its pliability, in that it can be integrated with different models of the mind and different theories of personality and psychopathology.
In this new edition of the congress we will be able to appreciate not only, as always, these major themes, but also learn about the latest developments in the Comprehensive System and its recent major revision.
Since the death of its founder, J. Exner, many Rorschachists trained by him have carried on his extraordinary legacy, continuing his research and practice work with CS. In fact, in clinical and forensic evaluations it is still the most requested and most widely used personality test, in Italy as in most European countries and in many countries outside Europe.
In recent years, thanks to a team led by Anne Andronikof and Patrick Fontan, CS has experienced interesting developments and insights that have already been announced at the recent congress of the International Society for the Rorschach and Projective Methods, held last July in Geneva. These innovations will have an in-depth presentation and further dissemination at the 2023 CSIRA Congress. These innovations were also supported by the invaluable contribution of John Exner’s family, who collaborated in the continuation of his father’s work by sharing in the evolution and necessary updating of the system within the lines he drew.
