Here is a complete scoring and interpretation system for human figure drawings. This unique system expands the usefulness of the traditional human figure drawing technique by providing adult norms for cognitive impairment. You can now use this popular drawing technique to evaluate not only psychopathology, but also cognitive deterioration in adults. Generously illustrated and logically organized, the HFDT handbook makes it much easier to score and interpret human figure drawings. Using the handbook and the convenient HFDT AutoScoreTM Form, you can do a complete qualitative evaluation--and you can quantify cognitive impairment that may be associated with psychopathology, organic conditions, or mental retardation. The HFDT provides four measures of cognitive status:  Impairment Score  Distortion Score These scores are extreHere is a complete scoring and interpretation system for human figure drawings.

The HFDT provides four measures of cognitive status:  Impairment Score  Distortion Score mely helpful in discriminating cognitive impairment caused by thought disorders from that caused by organic conditions. Norms are based on a sample of 800 individuals (over age 15), including the following groups: nonclinical, depressed, antisocial, manic, paranoid, schizophrenic, organic, and mentally retarded. So you can easily compare your client's drawings to those of individuals with various diagnoses.  Quick, easy, and empirically based, this comprehensive scoring system helps you get the most out of the human figure drawing technique. With its extensive collection of scoring illustrations and case examples, the HFDT also makes an excellent teaching tool.   Component  KIT: Includes Handbook; 25 WPS AutoScore Forms; 25 Drawing Forms  
