Somatic Inkblot Series-II (SIS-II): The Therapeutic Window of Emotionally-Withdrawn Children.
- Authors

- Abstract
Projections of varied kinds are part and parcel of daily emotional exchanges with the environment. They give vent to the unconscious realm of the mind that tends to threat the ego-system. Resistance and consequently repression are resultant effects. Projective techniques come at the aid at this juncture to penetrate deeper into the unconscious folds in a non-threatening way, thereby offering space for clients to open up their inner veils on a face-to face basis. The Somatic Inkblot Series-II (SIS-II) is one such projective assessment tool that is apt enough to provide therapeutic elements to unravel the unknown contents of one's personality. The present theoretical discourse plunges into the attempt to verify the therapeutic bearing of SIS-II as a "lens" or "window" in offering light to the unconscious in a non-threatening way with the help of some selected case studies in the form of child cases, whose responses to the same test provided dynamic meaning, in terms of their emotionality. The responses to the SIS-II seemed to verify the assumption that it serves as a "therapeutic template" on the basis of which the next line of treatment in terms of psychotherapy may be designed in future.
