“…Regarding the correlation between decreased motivation and reduced activity and depression, incorporating extended bouts of light activity into the daily routines of adolescents was found as a practical way to reduce the risk of depression (Kandola et al, 2020). As for "lacking details", some studies also reached a similar conclusion which described the paintings of depressed individuals as having a dull drawing style that lacked details (Cohen-Yatziv et al, 2018).…”

“…In addition, "blackening the paper" and "drawing in an only dark color" were found frequently in the depressed group in the past. On the one hand, the limited use of color is associated with depression (Cohen-Yatziv et al, 2018); On the other hand, depressed individuals seem to have difficulty choosing colors other than dark ones for expressing fun or sadness (Miljkovitch de Heredia & Miljkovitch, 1998).…”

Objective This study aims to explore the drawing characteristics of the house-tree-person drawing test (HTP) in junior high school students with depressive symptoms. Methods A total of 167 junior high school students were recruited and completed HTP and questionnaires. 12 drawing characteristics of HTP were extracted and compared to explore the potential drawing characteristics of depressive symptoms. Results Among 12 drawing characteristics, eight drawing characteristics appeared more frequently in the depressed group (CES-D ≥ 20) than in the non-depressed group (CES-D < 20), while one drawing characteristic appeared with a lower frequency. Further, controlling for the risk perception of COVID-19, seven drawing characteristics, not suggestive of movement, lacking details, blackening the paper, drawing in an only dark color, drawing a detailed crown, hands behind the back, and omitting expression, emerged as predictors of depressive symptoms (CES-D ≥ 20) in junior high school students. Conclusion Seven drawing characteristics of HTP are significantly associated with depressive symptoms in junior high school students. HTP is insightful for early screening for junior high school students with depressive symptoms.

“…The symbols, which were analyzed according to Jungian theory, described the story of the trauma and possibly played a role in fostering recovery. Cohen-Yatziv et al (2018) examined the pictorial phenomena depicted in mother-infant relationship drawings by 18 primiparae in their third trimesters who displayed depressive symptoms. Several recurring themes were identified that art therapists could use to better understand the content of these women's drawings.…”

This mixed method study (Explanatory Design-the Participant Selection Model) investigated the use of joint drawing (the Family Squiggle) as a family climate assessment tool for hearing families who have a deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH) child. The goal was to evaluate the possibilities of applying a quantitative approach to characterize the pictorial phenomena produced by hearing families who have a D/HH child and then apply qualitative research approaches to better understand the meaning of these phenomena. Twenty-eight hearing families (parents and child) whose child was diagnosed as D/HH and used hearing devices (hearing aids and implant) were recruited along with 16 families with a hearing child of a similar age enrolled in a mainstream school. The sessions involved a joint drawing followed by a family interview. In the quantitative stage, pictorial phenomena for which there was a significant association between the phenomena and the group of families were defined. These were: (1) the number of dominant images, (2) images occupying less than a quarter of the page, (3) images with accentuated outlines, (4) moderate colorfulness with four to five colors in each drawing, (5) minimal representation of the face, (6) concrete rather than creative titles, (7) muting of conflictual themes, and (8) images reminiscent of hearing devices (hearing aids and implant). In the qualitative phase, interviews were conducted with the hearing families with a D/HH child to better understand the meaning of these pictorial phenomena. The findings suggest that each of these phenomena represent the preoccupation of the family with D/HH, capture a certain aspect of family dynamics, and together provide a broader and deeper picture of the family climate and the interactions between the children's family and hearing. This assessment tool may thus be utilized when verbal tools cannot be easily applied.
