ABSTRACT
Draw-A-Story (DAS) is the assessment used in the current studies of aggression and depression reported in this book (Silver 1988b, 2002). It asks respondents to choose two subjects from an array of stimulus drawings, imagine something happening between the subjects they choose, and then show what is happening in drawings of their own. Respondents are encouraged to change the stimulus drawings they choose and add their own subjects and ideas. When they finish drawing, they add stories and, whenever possible, discuss them so that overt and covert meanings can be clarified.
