ONETO, Marta Miriam; MARQUES, Maria Emília    PINHEIRO, Catarina Bray. A natureza e especificidade do espaço mental através do Rorschach. Um espaço potencial? - Análise de um protocolo de uma paciente limite. []. , 27, 3, pp.331-347. ISSN 0870-8231.

In this article, we show the possibility to red, through the Rorschach, the concept of mental space/potential space. Based on works of Winnicott (1971/1975, 1988, 1990), Grotstein (1978), and Ogden (1985; 1992) about development and characteristics of the mental space we constitute three types of mental space that if can form in a subject: one-dimensional mental space or universe of the point, two-dimensional mental space or universe of the line and three-dimensional mental space, universe of the plane or potential space. We study this concept in the borderline structure. We present a list of Rorschach’s procedures that we created to read the concept of mental space and we employ it in the analysis of a protocol of a borderline patient. The analysis of the Rorschach’s protocol show the existence of a two-dimensional mental space (line), with a presence of characteristic elements of a one-dimensional space (point).
