DISADVANTAGES OF PROJECTIVE
TECHNIQUES
1. Highly trained interviewers and
skilled interpreters are needed.
2. Interpreters bias can be there.
3. It is a costly method.

INDICATIONS
The psychologist gives the child a sheet
of paper and a black pencil well sharp
or/and a set of colors and asks him to
make a draw of a person. The rest is
for the child to decide, whether he uses
just the black pencil or the set of
colors, where he is going to place the
drawing on the page; or if hes going to
draw a girl or a boy, a. s. o.

* An optional tool for the
investigation of the child's
mental representation of
attachment to the parents
* Provides insight into the
child's fantasies that
combine the child's
subjective life experiences
and interactions
LIMITS
* There is little professional
support for the use of
figure drawing, so the
examples that follow should
be interpreted with caution.
* Call for skilled and trained
administrators familiar with
both the theory behind the
tests and the structure of
the tests themselves.
INDICATIONS
We note:
the childs attitude: mimic, verbalization
and if they are or not related to the
drawing
if the drawing begins from the right or
left side of the paper
the order the characters are drawn
if he spends more time in drawing one
character or another
We ask:
1. What is this family doing, where are they?
2. What is the nicest and why?
3. What is the less nice and why?
4. Who is the happiest and why?
5. Who is the saddest and why?
