The current study examines the psychic structure of the patients with depression. Three different patients, all women, consulted to the psychiatrists with depressive symptoms. The psychiatric interviews centered around uninterpretable psychotic symptoms, mainly the psychotic inhibition abd regression in interpersonal relations, delusional thoughts and inappropriate affect. The projective tests of Rorschach and TAT are applied to all the patients and iterpreted using the concepts of psychoanalytical theory and the French School of projective methods. The results of the tests assessed together with the interview materials indicated a close link between depression and the psychotic features. The main problematic and the triggering effect varied from patient to patient; but the neurotic characteristics, depressive symptomatology, the inhibition of sexality and the defense mechanisms used proved to be similar. The finding of the tests revealed lack of a fully organized thnking and a heavy depressive mood. The patients followed a regular treatment plan that included medication and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy. After six months, the patients are retested. This time, test revealed fully neurotic organizations where no depressive symptoms and psychotic signs were detected. If the tests were not able to point out the neuroticism of the patients at the beginning, they were about to go through an antipsychotic treatment probably without such a regular psychotherapeutic agreement. The prominent features of the patients and the advantages projective test offered will be discussed in the light of psychoanalytical theory.
