Description: "Using drawings to discover emotions, attitudes, and personality traits not verbally stated by a client is a valuable and widely used technique in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. In this book, the author offers a highly practical introduction to the use and interpretation of projective drawings. Grounding his approach in self psychology, Dr. Leibowitz provides detailed information on how to interpret house, tree, man, woman, and animal drawings. The book also contains an appendix that offers examiner instructions, instructions for self-administration, and adjective lists to aid in interpretation.

Together, these components make Interpreting Projective Drawings as essential resource for any mental health professional interested in using drawings to their fullest effect in his or her practice."--Jacket.
