This interesting academic textbook presents Dr. Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz's 1965 study of children's drawings of human figures—a "whole human figure" being the primary subject specified, though some children were asked to draw themselves, family, friends, and so on. From these figures, Koppitz presents an analysis of developmental and emotional signs and abnormalities indicated by certain features in human figure drawings, and includes many case studies to help illustrate her points.
