title: [Behavior disorders in "encephaloperoma" reflected in childhood drawings].
abstract: In our material, i.e., in the drawing made by "slightly cerebrally damaged school children with behavioral anomalies", we found in both the tree and figure tests disturbances in the utilization of space, disproportions of parts (relative to their age), and disturbances in the harmony of lines (coarse, schematic, and discontinuous lines). Studies of the drawings made by children are, of course, not suitable for establishing a special diagnosis, but may provide, for children of school age, along with the anamnestic data, neurological, electroencephalographic, and other investigative results, indications and diagnostic clues about how behavioral, emotional, and contactual disturbances at school age are related to early-childhood cerebral disorders. This information will provide for an accurate assessment and proper treatment by both physicians and educators.
