Interpreting Projective Drawings by Marvin Leibowitz

Interpreting Projective Drawings by Marvin Leibowitz

The use of 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. By pairing clinical case examples with general interpretation guidelines, the book offers a thorough examination of projective drawings, making it a valuable text for beginners and an important reference source for the seasoned clinician. Interpreting Projective Drawings contains an impressive array of drawings, with over 175 total illustrations. Almost half of these drawings are from comprehensive case studies that follow adult patients from the beginning phase of treatment to their one-year (or more) status. These include over 30 chromatic illustrations that clearly demonstrate the importance of color in projective drawing interpretation. In addition to detailed information on how to interpret these five types of achromatic and chromatic 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 an essential resource for any mental health professional interested in using drawings to their fullest effect in their practice.

"[The] author of Interpreting Projective Drawings deserves praise [for addressing the issues of the lack of established norms and no consistent underlying theoretical framework in] the use of this sometimes criticized by ultimately time-honored, technique[The] book is relatively brief, easy to read and not obsessively detailed . . . [and] although aimed primarily at practicing psychologists, psychoanalysts . . . will also find this volume informative and useful." -- ThePsychoanalytic Quarterly
