Download or read book The Silver Drawing Test and Draw a Story written by Rawley Silver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art can be an invaluable means of communication. It can bypass language and impairment and allow for the expression of thoughts or feelings too difficult to communicate with words. In The Silver Drawing Test and Draw a Story, Rawley Silver draws on her years of experience using therapeutic art with hearing-impaired children, stroke patients, and others with learning disabilities or emotional disturbances. The book’s original art assessments use stimulus drawings to elicit responses that provide access to a patient’s emotions and attitudes toward themselves and others, while also testing for the ability to solve problems and convey ideas. Offering tools to assess cognitive skills that often escape detection on verbal tests of intelligence or achievement, the book helps in identifying those at risk for violent behavior or masked depression. Thoroughly updated from Silver’s earlier works, this new book includes techniques to assess aggression and depression that may lead to violence in schools and suicide among children and adolescents. It also addresses important gender and age differences, incorporating new information and updated studies, and it offers an in-depth look at the developmental procedures involved in these art assessments. As education for mental health professionals now includes art therapy more regularly, Silver has provided an invaluable resource for assessing emotional and cognitive content.

Download or read book Updating the Silver Drawing Test and Draw a Story Manuals written by Rawley A. Silver and published by Ablin Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silver Drawing Test (SDT) and Draw A Story (DAS) test were designed to reveal a person's cognitive and emotional conditions. How these tests were developed and some of the research concerning their efficacy are detailed in this report. It opens with an overview of the SDT. The report then discusses recent studies on the test: "Sex and Age Differences in Attitudes toward the Opposite Sex,""Gender Differences and Similarities in Spatial Abilities of Adolescents," and "Gender Parity in Spatial Skills." Some unpublished research is also detailed: "Brazilian Standardization of the SDT,""Comparing the SDT with Four Diagnostic Instruments," and "Age and Sex Differences in Fantasies about Food and Eating." Included with these unpublished works on the SDT are masters' theses written since 1988. Summaries of other research examining reliability, validity, outcome studies, age and gender differences,as well as work with hearing-impaired children and learning-disabled children are also presented. The second part of the document analyzes the Draw A Story: Screening for Depression (DAS) test. It presents critical studies of the test published after 1993: "Identifying and Assessing Self-Images in Drawings by Delinquent Adolescents,""Sex Differences in the Solitary and Assaltive Fantasies of Delinquent and Nondelinquent Adolescents," and "Adapting the Silver Draw A Story Assessment." The unpublished studies in this section include "The Draw A Story in Assessment of Abuse and Assessment of Brain-Injury Patients with Draw A Story Instrument." and various masters' theses produced within the last 8 years involving DAS. Previous research on both tests is examined for its reliability, validity and correlations between the Silver Drawing Tests and Draw A Story. The findings suggest that the SDT and DAS assess the same constructs, which means that the SDT, like the DAS, can be used to screen for depression and that the DAS, like the SDT, can be used to assess levels of ability to select, combine, and represent.

Download or read book Aggression and Depression Assessed Through Art written by Rawley Silver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of more than two hundred children using Rawley Silver's draw a story test showed a strong correlation between aggression or depression and certain types of artistic narratives; meanwhile, unbeknownst to Silver, a pair of Russian therapists were using Silver's assessment tests in a similar fashion with Russian children and achieving similar results. Aggression and Depression Assessed Through Art: Using Draw-A-Story to Identify Children and Adolescents at Risk came about as a result of these studies, but the book's scope goes beyond the numbers to investigate the connections between a child's expression through drawing and his violent behavior. The text, written mostly by Silver but with chapters contributed by therapists from both the United States and Russia, compares drawings by children who have already exhibited violent behavior with those who have not, thus exploring the potential of the test for use as an early identifier of children and adolescents at risk for depression or inappropriate aggression. Other chapters examine the changes in emotional state revealed by a child's responses to standard art assessment tests, as well as the cross-cultural applications of Silver's tests. Silver is recognized as one of the earliest developers of art therapy in the United States, and by providing mental health professionals with a tool to help identify and treat disturbed children this book represents yet another of her major contributions to the field.

Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
