[Experiences with the René Bloch "multidimensional art test"]

The Multidimensional Drawing Test of René B l o c h is a little-known projective test method in psychological diagnosis. In a series of 30 pictures, free associations are recorded graphically, with a time limit of 60 seconds per picture. The test material consists of a DIN A 6 jotting pad and seven felt pens, red, orange, yellow, blue, brown, green, and black. The test results can be equated with statistically determined combined variables, and thus enable differential diagnosis distinction between acute and chronic schizophrenia, hebephrenia, "schizoaffective psychoses", and more especially, endogenous and other forms of depression. The test can also be used in psychotherapy.
