[Ideal form image in the drawings of preschool children with various mental disorders].
Using a number of parameters of perfectness of form the authors studied 339 drawings of 110 preschool children with the diagnosis of schizophrenia, debility, and mental retardation. Along with the study of drawings the author determined the level of intellectual development with the help of Wexler's test for children. It has been shown that perfectness of the depiction of form in the drawings of preschool children can not serve as a differential diagnostic criterion, being dependent on age and intellectual characteristics of children. Diminished intellect in the considered mental diseases is attended by corresponding disorders in form description. Non-uniform development of intellect is associated with non-uniform development of descriptive skills. Manifestations of imperfect presentation of form in drawings of children with varying mental diseases are related with two types of psychic dysontogenesis: retardation and asynchronism of mental development.
