Abstract

Professor Porcelli is one of the most renowned experts in studies of patients with somatic problems and patients with somatic complaints in which he makes use of the Rorschach Comprehensive System, and more recently, the Rorschach Performance Assessment System - R-PAS. His works also emphasize the thematic content, according to Weiner, which extends the approach to the Rorschach. His stay at the Escola Paulista will provide important discussions for the studies that I have been developing in collaboration with colleagues and graduate students, since we are using the two systems of Rorschach and the Comprehensive R-PAS. Professor Porcelli will also attend and give lectures at the VII Inter-American Congress of Health Psychology: "Neuropsychological and Psychological Assessment in Hospital: For What and For Whom?" Organized by the Continuing Education Unit and the Division of Psychology of the Central Institute of the Clinical Hospital of the University of São Paulo Medical School (AU)
