More than an Image: Revisiting the Ulman Personality Assessment Procedure
Tripp, Tally
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v36 n3 p133-140 2019
The Ulman Personality Assessment Procedure (UPAP) is a historical art therapy tool based on a series of experiential directives that consists of 4 drawings completed in a single session. The UPAP provides multiple ways of viewing a client's psychological state and symbolic expression. Despite its often marginalized and seemingly antiquated psychoanalytic roots, the UPAP has contemporary relevance when integrated with relational, somatic, and trauma-informed theory. Some benefits of the assessment include offering a series of images instead of a single drawing, including movement, providing a range of directives, and ensuring shared interpretation. The author describes learning the procedure as a student of Ulman in 1978 and presents a contemporary case study for an expanded use of this protocol.
