Synopsis
In this book, Rawley Silver proposes that responses to a stimulus-drawing task tend to be metaphors that provide access to fantasies and can help in identifying children, adolescents, and adults at risk for harming others or themselves. Respondents tend to perceive the same stimulus-drawings differently. They also seem to represent the subjects they choose as metaphors for themselves and others, just as viewers tend to perceive their metaphorical meanings.

Review
"Dr. Silver's contributions to the fields of education, art therapy, and counseling cannot be measured. Her work consistently integrates creative methods with extensive research. The assessment tools she has developed are used internationally. This, her latest publication is a most welcome addition to the literature and is sure to be appreciated by mental health professionals, as well as students and faculty within a wide range of human services." --Christine Turner LPC NCC ATR-BC, Chairperson Board Certified Art Therapist and National Board Certified Teacher Miami Dade County School
"For decades, the groundbreaking 'Silver Drawing Test and Draw a Story' by Dr. Rawley Silver has been an essential and reliable assessment tool used for diagnosing thousands of students by the clinical art therapists in Miami Dade County public schools. In this book, Dr. Silver analyzes the themes and implications behind her most commonly used stimulus drawings worldwide. As with Carl Jung's archetypes, the drawings and stories in this book have universal meanings. They provide a valuable window into understanding a client's emotions, coping skills, and how they perceive the world around them; and assist in the recognition of depression and aggression with clients of all ages. --Melinda Fedorko, M.A., ATR-BC, LMFT, NBCT Board Certified Art Therapist and National Board Certified Teacher Miami Dade County Public Schools
"Written by one of our forerunners in the field of art therapy, Rawley Silver continues to provide evidence-based research to the art therapy profession. Using her own developed stimulus drawings and their metaphorical associations, she draws upon neuroscience and empathy to assess human behavior. Her findings lay a briliant platform on which the mercurial aspect of clinical diagnosis can be more readily accessible." --Poppy Scheibel, M.S., ATR, CPC Florida Art Therapy Association President Elect
