| Abstract: | The Levy Movement cards were designed by David M. Levy and are used, at present, as an experimental projective technique. The cards are bilaterally symmetrical finger-paintings done in achromatic color and show two human-like figures, one on each half of the card. The purpose of this approach is to gauge differences in movement responses and to relate these differences to a variety of personality pictures and to various intellectual and emotional factors. The interpretation of the Rorschach record has, from the beginning, placed considerable stress on the presence or absence of movement responses. If M responses are present in the Rorschach record, the number, characteristics, and relationships to other types of responses are factors upon which the total interpretation of the protocol relies heavily. For a variable, which is seemingly as important as this one, there would apparently be considerable justification for considering its psychological correlates when it is relatively isolated. One other important difference between this technique and the Rorschach is the method used for evaluating the subject's responses So far little has been done with this technique in the clinical situation, hence little attention has been accorded the delicate nuances of the subject's responses which make the Rorschach technique so valuable. |
