O.R.T. Institute
The Object Relations Technique

The Object Relations Technique is a potent and innovative tool designed for the study and exploration of personality.

A decade of research and development by the not-for-profit O.R.T. Institute has brought this unique method forward in its highly advanced and official new edition — providing a complete system for a modern psychoanalytic modeling of individual personality, based on actual subject perception.

A Perceptual Approach to Personality

O.R.T. Institute's offerings enable psychologists and psychotherapists to:

  • Clearly model the object relations (O-R) for complete diagnostic assessments.
  • Forge confident and powerfully relieving analyses with each patient, with unusual efficiency.
  • Conduct research that is fully both controlled and psychoanalytic.
Practitioners in twenty-three countries are today utilizing the O.R.T. in research and clinical settings.
