Quality of Drawing as a Factor in the Interpretation of Figure Drawings.

Johnson, Frank A.; Greenberg, Roger P.

Journal of Personality Assessment, v42 n5 p489-95 Oct 1978, Oct78

The drawings of 32 poliomyelitis patients and their matched controls were examined to see whether figure drawings primarily reflect the subject's projection of psychological state, ability to draw, or some combination of these two factors. Quality of drawing may at times be the overwhelming determinant of clinical and research findings. (Author/CTM)
