title: A review of the clinical and research use of the Bender-Gestalt Test.
abstract: The Bender Visual-motor Gestalt test has been an integral part of the standard test battery for the past 50 years. However, the test has been extensively critiqued on issues of inappropriate administration, scoring schemes, and clinical interpretation. In an analysis of recent surveys on test use, the Bender-Gestalt remains quite popular in a variety of clinical settings across all age groups. Secondly, the test has a respectable level of research interest, based on a citation analysis of the Psychological Abstracts database.
