Puppets in Therapy: An Assessment Procedure
Abstract
This paper discusses the use and value of spontaneous puppet stories in child assessment. A procedure is described and the emergent form and content of story material are examined. These projective data, in turn, are used to further understand the defensive structure, preoccupations, and conflicts of the child. These psychodynamic concepts are discussed and illustrated through case examples.
