title: [The Sceno Game in the course of time].
abstract: This article describes 50 years of working with the Sceno test, the first decades being in close cooperation with Gerhild von Staabs. After many years experience with the Sceno test in Swiss psychiatric hospitals over 1000 Sceno test games were conducted in the psychosomatic ward of the University of Munich Outpatient Department for Children and evaluated with a special record and slides. These were games carried out by children and adolescents with behavioral disorders, psychosomatic illnesses, and handicaps, in some cases by their mothers in an accompanying simultaneous analysis. Using the projective method the initial Sceno test, vulgar and original answers, key situations, repetition and memory compulsions were recorded. With 100 adults diagnosed as being schizophrenic Sceno tests with chaotic apparent order analogous to pictures painted by schizophrenics were observed. With adults and children with cerebro-organic damage we found an "organic play syndrom" in the game structure. Six medical dissertations dealt with the psychosomatics of children. Along with the depth psychology problems, in principle, the formality of the Sceno test set-up depending on age and development phase of the child also has to be taken into consideration. The Sceno test in its original form has proven itself to be up to date even today and requires only minor changes to some game elements, adapting them to the modern surroundings of children which means that a Sceno-R (Fliegner 1995) with 23 new game elements seems unnecessary. Psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy of our Sceno test game are based on the analytical method of Hans Zulliger and Anna Freud.
