From C. Beizmann’s work in the 1960s on Rorschach with children, through N. Rausch de Traubenberg’s work, to our most recent work (Chagnon et al., 2012), it is clear that the quantitative data is changing. The aim of this article is to offer a qualitative analysis of these quantitative variations, i.e. to interpret the meaning of the changes in psychic functioning whose factors are the indicators, especially kinaesthesias. We propose hypotheses in relation to contemporary psychosocial mutations, asking ourselves what might be their impact on individual psychic functioning and the treatment of instinct excitation in 10 to 11 year old children, at the end of latency.
