Specified

Affect anxiety

Before Pp has become a person or a face, something dissolved, fragmented, or the like, is seen at that location, or Pp is changed from a person or a face into something which is dissolved, diffuse, or the like, or Pp is blotted out in a marked way without being lost completely.

Identity anxiety

H is changed from a person or a face into something that is dissolved, diffuse, or the like, or H is blotted out markedly without being either in part or totally lost.

H-repression

H is seen as a petrified, inanimate or disguised being, an animal or a specified object.

Pp-repression

Pp is seen as a petrified, inanimate or disguised being that is neither threatening nor unpleasant, as an animal or as a specified object.

A-repression

Projected introaggression

Pp is seen as injured, tormented, dejected, sad, frightened, worried or exposed, or A is seen as something which is damaged, broken, worthless, bad or threatening.

Inhibition

Pp is seen on at least five consecutive exposures as a petrified, inanimate or disguised being that is neither threatening nor unpleasant, or as a specified object (Pp-repression not scored here), or Pp is seen on at least five consecutive exposures as an object distinguished by its contour or as a framed, empty surface (barrier isolation not scored here), or as a white or shining object or surface (affect isolation not scored here).

Introaggression

H is seen as injured, wretched, in trouble, or the like, or as being critical toward the self or involved in a situation of destructive character.

Barrier isolation

A barrier is added between H and Pp or H and Pp belonging to different realities, or Pp is seen as a framed, empty surface or as an object distinguished by its contour.

Affect isolation

Pp is seen as a white or shining object or surface, or there is a total loss of the specified content in the exposure preceding the loss.

In total less than four scorings of affect anxiety and affect defense

Signs of affect anxiety, H-repression, Pp-repression, A-repression, projected introaggression, inhibition, introaggression, barrier isolation and affect isolation are scored less than four times in the 40 exposures (20 from each of the two series).

Denial

Pp is missing or uninterpreted on at least seven consecutive exposures, starting with the first exposure, or Pp is lacking or uninterpreted on at least two consecutive exposures after having been specified as something other than a person or a face, or, when having been specified as a person or a face, Pp is lacking on at least two consecutive exposures.

Denial through

reversal I

H is seen as doubled or more than two persons, or both H and Pp are children, 15 years old or younger, on at least two exposures and Pp is neither threatening nor unpleasant on these exposures.

Denial through

reversal II 1 - 2

H and Pp are seen as having a positive relationship or Pp as being positive in character on at least two exposures, or H is seen as angry or threatening whereas Pp is seen as neither threatening nor unpleasant.

Denial through

reversal II 3

Pp is seen as neither threatening nor unpleasant on any of the exposures in a series.

Denial through

reversal III

H’s gender is changed from correct to incorrect, or is incorrect on at least eight consecutive exposures, but not on all the exposures on which it is denoted, or H’s gender is denoted but is not correct on any of the exposures in a series.

Denial through

reversal IV

Pp is seen as doubled or more than two persons or faces, or H and Pp have exchanged location, or H is seen as a duplicate of Pp, or Pp’s gender is changed from correct to incorrect but Pp is neither threatening nor unpleasant when thus changed, or Pp is explicitly denoted as H’s father in the first series or as H’s mother in the second series, and at the same time is neither threatening nor unpleasant, or Pp is a person younger than H and is neither threatening nor unpleasant, or H is changed from a younger person to an older person, 35 years of age or more, or H is seen as an older person, 35 years of age or more, on at least 12 consecutive exposures.

Splitting of H

H is seen as two persons that are explicitly denoted as separated in distance, having different genders or differing in other marked ways.

Disappearance of H/partial disappearance of H/loss of meaning of H/only Pp

H disappears entirely after being specified as a person/H disappears partly and is only represented by some body part, e.g., an arm, a leg or an upper part of the body without a head/H loses meaning or significance, explicitly denoted after being a person/Pp is interpreted as something and neither H nor A are denoted on the same exposure.
