Abstract
The case of a 21-year-old White man who committed a robbery and homici de is presented. His Rorschach is analyzed and interpreted using both psychostructural (Exner, 1986a) and psychodynamic (Cooper, Perry, & Ar now, 1988; Gacono & Meloy, 1992; Kwawer, 1980) methodologies. Findings are used to understand the presence and interaction of both psychopat hic character and borderline personality organization in this explosiv e and sadistic young man.
