Extract

As part of a study of the predictive value of a picture-story test in relation to verbal behaviour in group therapy, a positive relationship was recently found between the number of participations patients made in the first session of a new therapy group and the number of times they described human figures on a projective story test as making active, observable ‘approach’ movements toward another person or place (Aston, 1970). It was hoped that this finding might prove helpful in selecting patients for group therapy.
