Conclusion Appendix K-F-D 137 References Index This classic text focuses on the features of KFD that have emerged after more than 12 years of clinical experience with 10,000 drawings. One?hundred and thirty drawings are reproduced, showing common characteristics of K?F?D figures and the varied actions and symbols that reflect relations between family members. Included are a K?F?D Grid and an Analysis Sheet to assist clinicians in interpreting their own patients' K?F?Ds. Reveals the characteristics and actions of K-F-D figures, explains the significance of various drawing styles, discusses recurrent symbols, and provides a K-F-D grid and analysis sheet. Children's drawings have a freshness and naivete which is too quickly lost as conformity, defensiveness, and sophistication take over.
