AB  - This work is a psychoanalytical analysis of Dogon personality made on the basis of conversations with French-speaking informants and the subsequent interpretations of their  responses to the standardized Rorschach “ink  blot” test. Informants were selected from the Sanga village group as representative of the traditional Dogon culture. All were bi-lingual in French and Dogon. In the initial stage of the field work one-hour paid conversations were arranged with the informants in which rapport was established between the author/analyst and his subjects, and general background life history information obtained. These conversations occupy the major part of this source, pp. 70-368. This is followed by a more intensive psychoanalysis of thirteen selected informants, and a briefer analysis on one hundred individuals on the basis of their responses on the Rorschach cards. The author concludes with a generalized psychological profile of the Dogon in terms of modern psychoanalytical theory.
