  Fonds Marguerite Loosli-Usteri

  Loosli-Usteri, Marguerite (1893-1958) [Bestandsbildner] 

  1917-1955. - 1 linear metre of textual records

  Only on inquiry

  Biographische Notiz:   Marguerite Loosli-Usteri was born on 11th December 1893 in Zurich where she went to school. She is said to have been very interested in arts and an excellent pianist. In 1912 she matriculated at the university in Zurich where she studied philosophy, psychology and literature. During World War I she put her university studies aside in order to help families of soldiers. From 1919 to 1921 she studied pedagogy at the “Institut Jean Jacques Rousseau” in Geneva established in 1912, where she was assistant to Edouard Claparède, the founder of the institute.   From 1922 to 1923 she worked at “Stephansburg”, a children’s department of the Clinic Burghölzli in Zurich and established in 1921 by Eugen Bleuler. It was at “Stephansburg”, directed by Albert Furrer, who himself had been introduced to Rorschach’s experiment in 1921 by the master himself, where Marguerite first became acquainted with the Rorschach method. In 1923, after her marriage with Carl Loosli, she went to London staying there for three years. In 1926 she returned to the “Insitut Jean Jacques Rousseau”, now “Institut des Sciences et Pédagogique de l’Université de Genève”, where she held a chair in child protection and directed the counselling service until 1933. In 1929 she published her first article titled “Le test de Rorschach appliqué à différents groupes d’enfants de 10-13 ans”, being one of the earliest papers on the Rorschach Test and one of the first publications on the Rorschach in French. In 1930 she commenced giving courses in child protection. Besides she was in charge of teaching the theory and method of the Rorschach as part of the curriculum of the institute. In 1941 she was invited by the “Société suisse de psychothérapie” to give a lecture on the same subject. In 1943 she received her doctoral degree at the “Institut des Sciences et Pédagogique de l’Université de Genève” with her study “De l’anxiété enfantine”.   According to Bruno Klopfer, Marguerite Loosli-Usteri was the first to make an attempt at systematic instruction in the use of the Rorschach method. Judging from published work and personal reports of her students, these courses combined instruction and research in the field of child study, and led to the development of the so called Geneva approach to the Rorschach method (Klopfer 1934). In 1943 she received her doctoral degree with her thesis „De l’anxiété enfantine“. Marguerite Loosli-Usteri was elected as the first president of the International Rorschach Society founded in 1952, and held this office until her death in 1958.   Inhaltsangabe:   Almost one third of the files contain Rorschach test protocols with scorings and summaries half of which relating to children and juveniles. More than one third of the files contain preparatory work and manuscripts provided for publication. There are two files with documents relating to Loosli-Usteri's activities in the Rorschach Commission and International Society of the Rorschach. Worth mentioning is a file containing the Rorschach test protocols of the 7 major war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials scored by Loosli-Usteri. Included in the file is a report on her findings.
