“Diagnosis and Assessment: Impact on Art Therapy”

Abstract

This article underscores the need for the art therapist to become familiar with and use specific diagnostic assessments particularly “in an age where new legislative law and decreases in federal funding have impacted not only the mental health field but the future of Art Therapy itself….” The format included is based on observations from social workers reports and from psychological assessments, as well as tests that have been refined over the years by Horovitz. Included in this article are references to the H-T-P, the K-F-D, the D-A-P, the Bender Gestalt, the Cognitive Art Therapy Assessment and the Silver Drawing Test. Some examples of completed evaluations are presented to give the reader an idea of the “look” of a completed diagnostic assessment.
