The professional never shows the child the pictures from the book so that the child has a completely raw and unfiltered version of the plot in their head. That way, when the child provides summaries of the story, the professional will be able to clearly see any twists the child may have added on their own. This activity can be tricky if the child is at an age when they have not yet learned reading/listening comprehension in school, so it is imperative that the professional chooses an age-appropriate book that the child will be able to understand. As long as they are sure the child should not have difficulty comprehending the story, the professional factors in the plot twists from the child’s summaries to determine how eccentric their imagination is. When listening to the way characters are described, the professional should be able to sense the child’s level of paranoia about their surroundings. Greater feelings of paranoia might correlate with Schizophrenic symptoms. Once the activity is completed, the parents are called into the room to determine whether or not the child’s results are consistent with how they behave at home and in other settings.
