Edited by Emanuel F. Hammer, New York University, New York, New York. (With 14 Contributors) On its way to becoming the classic in the field of projective drawings, this book provides a grounding in fundamentals and goes on to consider differential diagnosis, appraisal of psychodynamics, conflict and defense, psychological resources as treatment potentials and projective drawing usage in therapy. In addition to Buck's H-T-P Techniques and Machover's Draw-A-Person Test, it also includes the Draw-A-Family Procedure, Harrower's Unpleasant Concept Test, Kinget's Drawing Completion Test, The Draw-A-Person-In-The-Rain Test which elicits clues to the self-concept under conditions of environmental stress, the Draw-An-Animal Concept used to disclose the biological side of the biosocial coin, the Eight Card Redrawing Test which delves into the deepest layers of the subject's psychosexual identification, and free doodles.

This book focuses on communication in psychotherapy and how to shape it to reach the patient's affect more effectively. It explores the styles of intervention, as well as the how and why and when psychotherapists might employ more artful interventions to help patients find access to their feelings.

A collection of articles - all by practising psychotherapists - which presents a kaleidoscopic view of the place of interpretation in their own work. The standpoints of the contributors range from strict Freudianism to client-centred work, and from behaviourism to full eclecticism.

Forty years after Emanuel Hammer's classic book, The Clinical Application of Projective Drawings, was published, he is now presenting this exciting new book on Advances in Projective Drawing Interpretation, which richly shares his further research investigations and growth in experience, in scope, and in writing quality. The aim of the book is to take the reader to the outer edge of the technique's acquired virtuosity, versatility, and usefulness. Exceptional contributors were chosen for their pertinence and their range and inventiveness. Signature topics include: (1) the differentiation from each other in the drawings of two diagnostic challenges - schizophrenia and organic brain damage from neurotic conditions; (2) the prediction of imminent acting-out states of life and death issues, of dangerousness to others or to self, of homicide, suicide, rape, sexual abuse, assault, violence, and exhibitionism; (3) the use of chromatic drawings to descend deeper into the projective technique process to elicit a more hierarchical personality portrait; and (4) the investigation of the personality dimensions that differentiate those interpreters who possess the talent to effectively practice the art of drawing interpretation from those who do not. All chapters mix the best and most heuristic of the work in the field to produce a text that is a monument to authenticity and utter clarity. This outstanding book assembles the progress in the science and in the clinical art of projective drawings as we enter the twenty-first century.
