Abstract

Although Self Characterization is a reasonably well known tool for PCP diagnosis, the rules by which information is drawn from the writing are less well known. Here we show how these rules can be applied to a child's drawing, and how attention to these rules highlights the importance of the process in making inferences about constructs in drawings.
 
Keywords: self characterization; construct elicitation; children’s drawings
