Central placement of Bender figure a by clinic-referred and non-referred children.
To test the validity of clinical reports suggesting the diagnostic significance of central placement of the first Bender-Gestalt design, the protocols of 58 clinic-referred children (ages 6 to 12 yr.) and 58 non-referred children matched for age and WISC-R Full Scale IQ were examined. As predicted, central placement occurred with greater frequency in the clinic group, but its clinical utility is unclear.
