Description

For some time art therapists have been inclined toward clinical practice rather than testing and assessment. However, therapists are increasingly being called upon to work in assessment, and they may need guidance about what tools to choose. Brooke provides critical reviews of a variety of art therapy tests with an emphasis on reliability and validity. The tools she reviews includes the human figure drawing test, kinetic family and school drawings, the Diagnostic Drawing Series, static and kinetic house-tree-person tests, family-centered circle drawings, the Silver Drawing Test of Cognition and Emotion, magazine photo collages, belief and dream assessments, the Formal Elements Art Therapy Scale, and the Levick Emotional and Cognitive Art Therapy Assessment. She includes recommendations and a case study, along with an annotated list of Internet resources. The first edition of 1996 was published as A therapist's guide to art therapy assessments.
