Differences Between Human Figure Drawings of Child Molesters and Control Groups.

Johnston, Frances A.; Johnston, Shawn A.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v42 n4 p638-47 Jul 1986

Attempted to identify differences between human figure drawings of adult and juvenile child molesters and adult and juvenile control groups, based on ratings obtained for psychodiagnostic signs. Results revealed, for the molesters, factors of overall quality with a component of gender identity confusion, figure-size only, fingers only, and hidden eyes/hidden hands. (Author/ABB)
