TROGER, Nadja  y  PINHEIRO, Catarina Bray. O Rorschach e a função materna no sujeito transexual. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.3, pp.319-330. ISSN 0870-8231.

The present article uses the Rorschach method from a psychodynamic point of view, in order to analyse the maternal function in the transsexual subject, and implicitly top analyse psychic bisexuality, as both are engaged in the relation between mind and body. The maternal function is conceived in the heart of Kleinian and post-Kleinian theory, within which the bionian model ♀♂stands out, enabling the operating dialectic between the internal and the external, the Me and the Other, the masculine and the feminine to be explored. Given this proposal, the Rorschach method is approached in its intersubjective and dynamic dimension, according to the theoretical arguments formulated by M. E. Marques, which allows an analysis of the symbolic activity. The development of procedures aims to integrate the aforementioned dialectics in terms of the ♀♂relationship. Within this context, the Rorschach method was applied to two transsexual subjects (M-F and F-M, respectively). The responses of both subjects reveal a constant search for a cohesive container in external reality and an evident difficulty in articulating the double within the mental space. Consequently, this leads to disruptive movements on the analysed axis, as well as too additional difficulties in differentiating the feminine from the maternal. The ♀♂articulation indicates the non-consolidation of the identity, where the body’s transformation represents the solution to the identity question in an external reality.
