The encrypted message
If you say that the search and study of the keys to deciphering - tedious and much easier in a confidential conversation asked the boy about all its fears, anxieties, joys and sorrows, you will be wrong. You probably know how even adults sometimes difficult suddenly to take and reveal the soul of the interlocutor. And so to find the right words for this, especially not everyone can.
How can you expect that four-year-old baby suddenly opens a small mouth and say adults such words as "sympathy" or "dislike", "calm" or "alarm", "harmony" or "disorder"? He himself does not understand his feelings and doesn't know how they are called. But the figure gives the child the opportunity to Express what he is not yet able to understand and put into words.
The figure for the child - not art, and speech, which he has not yet learned how to use it. But, becoming the Creator of the cartoon figures and figures, he, like a true artist, feels full, no limited freedom. Of course, he is not given a thought to pass on to a white sheet of your feelings, little fingers themselves lead pencil, and from under it enters the small mirror of the soul of the Creator.
Age peculiarities
Analyzing the figure, consider the age of the child. Because in two years he will draw sticks, circles, squares, and only representing them, to think of what they meant and how to call them.
For three years the kid will want to draw humans. But only to draw them, he knew. It turns out the circle with a face (head), to which is attached sticks (arms and legs).
But in the four years to circle it already casts oval (torso), and the figure itself becomes more complex.
In five years he famously and then his men such necessary parts, such as mouth, nose, eyes, fingers, hair.
In six or seven years of a man appears on the neck, folds on the arms and legs, clothes and different hairstyles.
These age-related features of the figure are oriented psychologists when assessing mental development of the child.
If in seven years, the baby still continues to draw the circles and sticks, parents should worry about how their child.
The value of drawings for example, man
Head the figure is regarded as the sphere of intellect, imagination, and volitional control of bodily impulses. Already very young child considers his head an extremely important part of the body. Therefore, the empowerment of figures small head testifies to the experience of their intellectual inadequacy (which is not necessarily associated with a low level of mental development). A fuzzy image of a head - index shyness, timidity. If the head is depicted in the last turn there is a suspicion of any interpersonal conflicts.
Neck the body symbolizes the connection between the control (head) and area attractions (body). Excessively large neck indicates the awareness of bodily impulses and trying to control them. Long thin neck - braking indicator: the conflict between the mind and the senses can be solved through withdrawal from the world own strong emotions. Thick short neck - yielding to their desires and weaknesses.
Shoulders and their sizes - a sign of physical strength and needs in power. Therefore, excessively large shoulders reflect the feeling of great strength and small, on the contrary, maliennes, insignificance, not only in the physical plane. Angular shoulders is a sign of excessive caution, increased anxiety. Sloping shoulders often reflect reduced vitality, depression, sometimes guilt.
Torso - the focus of vitality. Depicted angular or square, it says about masculinity. Too big - about the presence of unmet needs. Abnormally small - about the symptom of humiliation.
Face includes eyes, ears, mouth and nose. This receptor external stimuli - touch contact with reality. Carefully selected, developed person means a strong concern about relationships with others, their appearance. The underlined chin - need for dominance. Too large chin - the desire to compensate for a perceived weakness, indecision.
Ears is the organ of perception of criticism and any opinions of another person about themselves. Ears large or too underlined is possible auditory hallucinations. Found in the drawings of children who are especially sensitive to criticism, and also concerned about the problem of obedience. Small ears or no ears - the desire not to accept any criticism, to silence her.
Eyes closed or hidden brim hat, a clear desire to avoid unpleasant visual effects. Large dilated eyes - the anxiety, the need for protection. A face with eyes, dots or grizzled bears internal ban on crying, expressing a need based.
Roth the symbol of aggressiveness (because among other things it serves and to screaming, cursing, biting). A special sign of aggression is clearly drawn the teeth. Mouth like clown - flag-friendliness, insincere feelings. Adult no mouth or mouth-pinhead (dash) does not have the verbal ability to influence others.
Nose many Freudian psychologists orientation is treated as a sexual symbol. However, this interpretation against children seems to be quite controversial.
Limb - hands and feet - appear in the figure of the child early enough, albeit in the form of sticks or sausages. For a small child the initial function of the hands - priceplan to the body of the mother, i.e. the function of establishing contact with another person. Only later, after experiencing a separation from the body of the mother, the child opens the second feature hands - function interaction with the world of objects and impact on this world.
When the child feels able to contribute something, to discover the figure is simple: man appears in the hand, sometimes in the form of mittens, sometimes with fingers, and the fingers do not necessarily five. If the fingers more than five, the child feels more equipped, strong (if on the left hand in the area of family relations, if on the right hand in the world outside the family, school, garden, yard); if less is more weak than the surrounding.
Hands depicted long and muscular - the child feels the need for physical strength, agility and courage. Too long arms testify ambitious aspirations. Very short hands - on boundedness aspirations, sense of inadequacy. Depicted close to the body hands say about the voltage. Hands behind his back or in your pockets - guilt, self-doubt. Widespread hands - on intensive desire for action.
Feet symbolize a foothold in reality and freedom of movement, and freedom in General. Disproportionately long legs - strong desire for independence. The larger the area of support at the feet of the harder a sense of reliability.
Interpretation poses the depicted shapes are generally more straightforward. So, if the head is represented in profile, and the body full face, this means the anxiety generated by the social environment, and the need to communicate. Running man - the desire to flee, to escape, to hide; easy and carefree walking - balance.
Visible disturbances proportions with respect to the right and the left side indicate the absence of personal equilibrium. Distortion coming from the right side of the portrayed person, reflect problems dealing with the world of social norms and those people who embody their child. Distortion on the left side of the body reflect the problems of the relations with the loved ones, in the field of emotional attachments.
Technical features of the drawing also of definite interest. Thus, the sizes of the lines, deleted items, omissions, underlining, shading identify conflict areas. The lack of significant detail is often due to serious emotional disturbance.
Thus, looking at a child's drawing, you can learn much of what is hidden in the inner world of the child. It is only necessary to emphasize that in this way it is possible to identify some General trends, but not the production of accurate psychological diagnosis. It is also important that as we study the personality, are in the process of formation, so the younger the child, the more limited opportunities judgments about his person.
