Use of drawings in children with pervasive developmental disorder during hospitalization: a developmental perspective

Athena Stefanatou, BSc (Hons), MSc, PhD

Clinical Psychologist, Medical School of Athens, Athens, Greece, astefana{at}otenet.gr

The level and nature of emotional upheaval and relationship to developmental stage was studied in children with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) hospitalized for head injury. The sample consisted of 25 hospitalized children aged 5—12 years. Children were asked to make the drawing of a `person in hospital'. The drawings were evaluated by Koppitz's emotional indicators. Punishment and persecution were the main cognitive constructs of children in order to explain hospitalization.

Key Words: developmental care • drawing • hospitalization • punishment
