TEIXEIRA, Virgílio  and  MARQUES, Maria Emília. O buraco negro na patologia limite: Um contributo da/para a técnica Rorschach. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.3, pp.281-293. ISSN 0870-8231.

The aim of this study is the constitution of an interpretative analysis grid of the Rorschach narrative, which will allow to identify and describe the action of the black hole in the borderline pathology. We study the borderline organization in the light of the symbolization disturbances, seeking to articulate the concepts of emptiness, black hole and death instinct as manifestations of the lack of the processes of symbolization and somato-psychic auto-regulation. We translate to the Rorschach technique the main theoretical assumptions which express the action of the black hole (precarious constitution of the background presence of primary identification; traumatic object; failure to going-on-being; predominance of symmetry over asymmetry; reduction of the dimensionality of the mental space, search for the identitary stabilization) and analysed the Rorschach narrative of a borderline subject. We discuss the results obtained through the established analysis parameters, trying to synthesize the characteristics of the psychic space of the subject, and to point out the manifestations of the phenomenon in study.

Keywords : Borderline organization; Black hole; Death instinct; Rorschach.
