Patients are instructed to create 3 drawings. (1. make a drawing with materials provided- no directions, 2. make a drawing of a tree, 3. make a drawing of how they feel)
This assessment is a series of three drawings that are based on:
1. Graphic characteristics are graded
2. Empirical correlation between graphic characteristics and psychopathology
The graphic profile of a client should enable art therapists to give an indication of a possible diagnosis.
There is uncertainty about the reliability and validity of the DDS.
Some concerns include:
-inter-rater reliability of 3 different raters
-
Raters are important to eliminate bias and subjective data.
Three ways influences that the DDS determines to be effective
1. the rating of characteristics themselves (color types- understanding the difference between)
2. placing patients within a graphic profile
3. distinguish between 2 populations because of results
Tri-level
