ABSTRACT

With the ending of a dynamic century in mental health and the beginning of the 21st century, clinicians continuously need to reenergize themselves with new techniques and standards for examining diagnostic questions and promoting therapeutic change. In this quest, therapists and diagnosticians remain fascinated and appreciative of the myriad use of procedures, such as the use of drawings, in their everyday clinical work. This enthusiasm for introducing alternative methods to engage and communicate with clients has produced renewed attention among practitioners and researchers for finding simple and direct applications that can answer specific questions and document progress (Edwards, 2002; Hammer, 1997; Linesch, 2000; Malchiodi, 1998; Oster & Montgomery, 1996; Riley, 2001; Rubin, 2001; Safran, 2002; Wadeson, 2000).
