The Somatic Imagery Test (SIT- online version) was administered to a 54 years old female to understand her personality and inner cry, if any. The inkblot images were helpful to bring out high dissatisfaction and poor interpersonal relationship with her partner, mild depression and suppressed hostility with lots of unprocessed unconscious material that aided the process of therapeutic intervention. The responses were analyzed using content analysis and psychoanalytical interpretation.

Introduction:
The Somatic Inkblot Series (SIS) is a semi - structured, projective, diagnostic procedure and is an adjunct to psychotherapy. It is structured by a sequential presentation of intentionally designed and field-tested inkblot-like images. These images demonstrate typical and atypical response potentials. The somatic inkblots procedure is projective because it is based on spontaneous, individually generated responses to semiambiguous figures, which elicit intra psychic associations specific to the person presented with them. Since its inception, the SIS test has undergone transformation that led to the development of different versions of the test and has now adapted modern technology which helps the clinician to administer and use the test in diverse situations effectively (Dubey and Dubey, 2018, Dubey et al, 2019, Dubey et al., 2005).
