Asking a patient to describe their “happy place” is very typical in many types of therapy and psychological evaluations. The wide variety of drawing materials allows the child to express themselves in any way they choose, and the choice of more eccentric materials like folded shapes or 3D craft supplies may hint at a child’s more eccentric personality, which could correlate with a vivid imagination. The professional should not help (except for safety reasons) because any creative interference would block the expression of the child’s true unbiased feelings. When the professional is listening to the child’s description of the characters, they should listen for descriptions of the way the child interacts with the characters in real life. As with the “Imaginary Friend” activity, if the child is seemingly unable to control the response of the character, they are likely exhibiting Schizophrenic behavior. If the characters are imaginary creatures, it could once again hint at a more vivid imagination. When the professional asks if there is anything the child left out of the drawing, the response could reveal characters in the child’s imagination that are unpleasant, and the prominence of unpleasant characters hints at Schizophrenia. When the parents come back to examine the drawing, they will determine whether the child’s drawing is consistent with their everyday behavior and personality.
