The present study attempts to cast a glance at the object relations of a 50 year old female leprosy patient (named M in the present study) from Jyoti Nagar Leprosy Rehabilitation Center, Mohanlalgang, Lucknow. In the present study, self object relationship has been operationally defined in terms of responses on Rorschach test, which has been analyzed in the perspective of Lerner (1991) Object Relations Theory. Results brought to fore a self image engulfed with helplessness, being consumed and eaten by the hostile world. M seems to reflect a schizoid character with sub features of depression and obsessive compulsive. Empty depression is evident. It seems to be cut and dry protocol.

Abstract


The present study attempts to cast a glance at the object relations of a 50 year old female leprosy patient (named M in the present study) from Jyoti Nagar Leprosy Rehabilitation Center, Mohanlalgang, Lucknow. In the present study, self object relationship has been operationally defined in terms of responses on Rorschach test, which has been analyzed in the perspective of Lerner (1991) Object Relations Theory. Results brought to fore a self image engulfed with helplessness, being consumed and eaten by the hostile world. M seems to reflect a schizoid character with sub features of depression and obsessive compulsive. Empty depression is evident. It seems to be cut and dry protocol.
