Book Description
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.

Book Description
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 Some unpublished research is also detailed: "Brazilian Standardization of the SDT,""Comparing the SDT with Four Diagnostic Instruments," and "Age and Sex Differences in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 Included with these unpublished works on the SDT are masters' theses written since 1988.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.
