The KTSA and Emotional Pathology in Children

Abstract

The ability of the nine KTSA symbolization scores to differentiate between normal And emotionally disturbed children was explored. Significant results were obtained for two scores (B and X). Contrary to the suggestions of the literature, the D score failed to discriminate between the groups. The results for the normal group were in general agreement with Abidin's (1966) norms. These results suggest that two of the KTSA symbolization scores can possibly be used independently for diagnostic purposes.
