title: The squiggle-drawing game in child psychotherapy.
abstract: The squiggle-drawing game is an adaptation of Winnicott's Squiggle Technique using the story-telling approach of Gardner and Kritzberg. It is a useful technique in obtaining thematic material and communicating through metaphor with latency-age children, who often resist direct questioning about their problems and feelings.
