Abstract

This paper delves into the core character and personality dynamics of an inmate at Agra Jail using the Rorschach Personality Test. Results indicate a Schizoid and Depressive core personality, with nuances of Masochistic and Obsessive-Compulsive traits. Notably, human content is scarce in the protocol, alongside poor reality testing and organizational skills. Fluid self-object relations underscore the psychological complexity. Drawing on Lerner's method, the analysis intertwines with Psychoanalytic Object Relations Theory. Crime's emotional toll, compounded by societal stigma, underscores the need for clinical insight into criminal psyche. The Rorschach protocol offers an unfiltered glimpse into underlying personality structures, illuminating unexpressed emotional conflicts. This study underscores the importance of understanding the psychological intricacies of criminal behavior within a clinical framework.
