FEATS Score Differences and Comorbid Depression within in Persons Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v37 n3 p147-154 2020
This study investigated the use of the Formal Elements Art Therapy Scale (FEATS) with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Eighty-eight persons with either relapsing-remitting or progressive type MS drew a Person Picking an Apple from a Tree, and completed a Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS). FEATS scores were compared to BDI-FS scores and across disease type. Statistically significant results were found when comparing FEATS scores in regard to disease type, with overall FEATS scores (p = 0.014), indicating graphic elements linked to depression present in the drawings of patients with progressive type MS. The relationship between FEATS scores and the BDI-FS was not significant. Further research is needed, as this was the first study of the FEATS with the MS population.
