The present study aimed to investigate the personality characteristics of a pedophile, and to make evident the Rorschach’s reliability at the test-retest. The participant, a male of 38 years old, answered to the interview and the Rorschach’s test, in two steps. The main findings revealed: a) a tendency to fragmentation in the perception of himself and others; b) negative and unfavourable self image related to the body and its functionalities; c) problems in interpersonal relationships, lacks in empaty capabilities; d) deficits in the perceptive adjustments of reality;e) vulnerability to subjective pressures and impulsivity. These results kept stable when comparing two applications, allowing to further increase the comprehension of the psychological elements involved in pedophilia, that showed to be sustained, and support the reliability of the Rorschach at test-retest.Downloads
