Hermann Rorschach (1884-1922) was a Swiss psychiatrist and the son of a painter.
He took a deep interest in psychoanalysis, and during the 1910´s he published several psychoanalytic articles. He experimented with the interpretation of ink blots, as did Leonardo da Vinci and Justinus Kerner.
In 1921 he published Psychodiagnostik, with 10 inkblots and a guide to analysis of how people interpreted them. This work is now regarded a classic of psychiatry and also, art.
