The shape of the head,as well as
other features, depict no emotion, however, can
still tell much about the person. The head
tells nothing of emotion. However, if the headshape is distorted
in a drawing an overall sense the emotions are depicted. ;
A good example would be if someone
would draw their mother having a large round head, when in fact it is oval.
The unrealistic interpretation of the mother's head could be do to trouble's
within their relationship. The patient may percieve the individual drawn different
from reality.
When diagnosing a patient one must
take into consideration the entire person
and all things affecting that person. An Art
therapist would use the drawing created to help relieve tensions in
the individual or the family.
