Studied the management of aggression in 14 Maghrebi patients hospitalized in France for psychiatric disorders (psychoses, neuroses, borderline states) and psychosomatic manifestations. Ss were administered Rorschach tests structured around their modes of self-representation and object relations. The tests did not reveal aggressivity manifestations or the Ss' body representations usually correlated with interactions with others. Cultural and religious explanations are offered.
