  • Title: Human figure drawings and house tree person drawings as indicators of self-esteem: a quantitative approach.
    Author: Groth-Marnat G, Roberts L.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1998 Feb; 54(2):219-22. PubMed ID: 9467766.
    Abstract:
    This study assessed the concurrent validity of Human Figure Drawings (HFD) and House-Tree-Person (HTP) drawings as measures of self-esteem. Adult subjects were requested to make HFD and HTP drawings and to complete measures of psychological adjustment which included the Coopersmith Self Esteem Inventory and Tennessee Self Concept Scale. The drawings were scored using a quantitative, composite rating scale derived from HFD and HTP empirical and theoretical literature on psychological health. Results indicated that neither the HFD nor the HTP quantitative composite ratings of psychological health related to the formal measures of self-esteem.
