    Bender-Gestalt Z-scores and reproduction time are valuable prognostic indicators for psychiatric treatment outcomes in various conditions. However, they are not reliable predictors for obsessive-compulsive neurotics.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • The Bender-Gestalt (BG) test is a psychometric tool used to assess visual-motor maturity and neurological impairment.
    • Assessing prognostic indicators is crucial for tailoring psychiatric treatment and predicting therapeutic recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the prognostic value of Z-scores and reproduction time from the Bender-Gestalt test in psychiatric patients undergoing treatment.
    • To determine if these measures can predict therapeutic recovery across different psychiatric diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Computed Z-scores from Bender-Gestalt records for 62 psychiatric in- and outpatients.
    • Assessed psychiatric recovery after 19-24 months of active treatment.
    • Recorded the total time taken for Bender-Gestalt reproductions.

    Main Results:

    • Bender-Gestalt Z-scores significantly predicted treatment outcomes for schizophrenics, affective psychotics, organic psychotics, and patients with anxiety/conversion reactions.
    • Z-scores were not significant prognostic indicators for obsessive-compulsive neurotics.
    • Longer Bender-Gestalt reproduction times correlated with poorer treatment response, indicating it as an important prognostic factor.

    Conclusions:

    • Bender-Gestalt Z-scores serve as a significant prognostic indicator for several psychiatric conditions, excluding obsessive-compulsive neurotics.
    • The time taken to complete Bender-Gestalt reproductions is also a valuable prognostic indicator for therapeutic outcome.
    • Both Z-scores and reproduction time should be considered when predicting psychiatric treatment success.
