The Rorschach method was administered to forty-one patients representing a cross-section of psychotic groups who were to receive metrazol therapy in an effort to determine whether or not this technique would reveal any signs or patterns which would be of practical assistance in selecting patients for this type of therapy. It was found that six signs of varying significance differentiated the improved and unimproved groups to a satisfactory extent. It is suggested that these signs are not absolute but are subject to various stated discrepancies. It is felt, however, that they are suggestive of positive trends in the prognosis of metrazol therapy.
