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.
