The study was performed by analysis of human figure drawing test applied to 100 body defects and 100 individuals as control.
The analysis is based on the analysis;, scale by Otomo wich is a modified scale of Machover´s original.
Followings are the results;
1. General characteristic of human figure drawn by body defectives is that of extraordinary large head portion and wide stretched legs.
2. On more than 70% of cases the portion of human figure which correspond to the defective body part is overstressed or neglected.
3. Large proportion of F (Frustration) factor is demonstrated.
4. The problem index is appeared to tend to decline by the increase of chrono logical age.
These results appear to support the assumption of human figure drawing as the projection of individual´s self-body-image.
