House, Tree, Person Drawing Analysis

This document provides instructions for interpreting drawings of houses, trees, and people. It states that details like size, walls, roof, windows and doors in a house drawing can indicate things about the person like their relationship with family or openness. Tree drawings can reveal ego size or personality splits based on the trunk, and health of connections based on branches and leaves. Human figure drawings provide clues from arm position, hand shape, leg details and mouth about tendencies like hostility, dependence or rejection of needs. More facial details in a drawing suggest a need to present oneself acceptably.
