The University of Edinburgh

A critical and experimental study of the serial painting method in child therapy

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

It is generally assumed by psychologists that childrens drawings and paintings can be an aid to the study of personality. I+,Iore recently these are being used as an adjunct to various therapeutic techniques. But the rationale for their employment as a diagnostic and therapeutic aid is,at the present time,largely based on a worker's orientation and inclinations and,as a part of psychotherapy they often become a tool which may be manipulated by the therapist to serve interpretations.
