The results indicate a growing number of studies using Rorschach in the region with the systematic and stable presence of subject approach considering their singularity. This paper discusses whether the trends represent significance in research with Rorschach in the Spanish-speaking world, compared to studies in the English-speaking world, giving subjects the possibility of being considered in their complexity. It also proposes that the region presents an opportunity to produce research and theoretical models that take advantage of the comprehensive possibilities granted by the Rorschach test as a projective method.
