“An Adlerian study of experiences relating to socio-sexual identity in a group of female subjects undergoing the Rorschach test”

Abstract

Starting from an analysis of the responses to the Rorschach test, analyzing them and following some variables that are important for functioning according to the individual psychological view, a study is carried out on women's experiences of their socio-sexual role.
The feelings of inferiority found in the women examined are linked both to subjective factors and to the uncertainty of contemporary socio-cultural models, which have led to the abandonment of the traditional roles of previous generations. This lack of clarity about what it means to be a woman today compromises the need for emotional contact and generates a certain emotional immaturity. This results in impulsive expressions of desire and a need to hide one's true self, creating emotional distance. Conflict regarding self-confidence and social role fuels dissatisfaction and ambivalence, making personal and social fulfillment a difficult and uncomfortable goal
