A Review of Picture Based Psychological Assessment tools for children and adolescents
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Children connect better with pictures than they do to verbal material. The review traces the application of pictures in the area of psychological assessment with children and adolescents. Pictures have been used as testing material in the domain of projective testing and self report formats. The pictorial tests available in each of the domains have been reviewed and separate analysis has been provided for each domain. The review focuses on the advantages of pictorial measures, their scope in the Indian context and challenges in development of pictorial measures.
