Fifty Rorschach tests were subjected to a differentiated analysis of data using a variation of the method developed by S. Fisher and S. Cleveland. Significant correlations were found to exist between the self and body images as expressed in the tests on the one hand, and acceptance for psychoanalytical treatment on the other hand. Two groups were detected. One group showed relatively little anxiety concerning expression of self and ego-regression; they were judged to have positive indications for psychoanalytic treatment. The other group felt the therapeutic ego split as a threat and therefore shut themselves off from all influences coming from without. Patients from this group were significantly less frequently accepted for treatment. The Rorschach test could thus be used as a reliable indicator for the patients' analysability.
