Projective Drawing Techniques • Draw-A-Person • House-Tree-Person Test • Kinetic Family Drawing
Draw-A-Person • Instructions: • “I would like you to draw a picture of a person (do it any way you like, it’s up to you)” • Next: “Now I’d like you to draw a person of the opposite sex” • Next: Self • Next: A story about first picture • Evaluate: • Client’s approach • What attributes represent • Ideal vs. real self • Quality of drawing • Size and shape of body parts, detail • Placement on page • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Interpretation • Screening Procedure for Emotional Disturbance
House-Tree-Person Test • Purported advantages over the DAP: • Patient’s feelings about home in house • Less obvious • Tree reflects emotional history, self. Deeper unconscious • Instructions: • Draw each picture, then follow-up questions • Evaluation • Usually holistic interpretation • Interpreted much like DAP
Critique • Reliability • Quite variable across studies • Validity • Sometimes difficult to falsify predictions • Quantitative approaches stronger than qualitative • Lack of incremental validity
