Drawings in Assessment and Psychotherapy - Research and Application

"Drawings are used extensively by clinical psychologists, school psychologists, and art therapists in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Unfortunately, there is no one, universal drawing test. Instead, it is a technique with many variations in method and interpretation. The editors of this book have gathered a renowned group of contributors to analyze the research and application of the most popular assessment and treatment tools. Both the assets and liabilities of various figure drawing methods will be discussed, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of various drawing techniques. This book will be appropriate for a wide range of readers, including assessment and treatment clinicians in psychology, art therapists, social workers, and other mental health providers"--
