An Investigative Study of the Bender-Gestalt: Clinical Validation of Its Use with a Reading Disabled Population.

Schneider, Michael A.; Spivack, George

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v35 n2 p346-51 Apr 1979

Fifty subjects were classified as having a primary (endogenous) or secondary (exogenous) reading disability; then their Bender protocols were scored. Results indicated that specific score distortions, but not total developmental scores, differentiated between the two groups and that the primary group was more severely reading retarded.
