    Author:陳孟吟 Meng-Yin Chen, 林家興 Josh Chia Hsin Lin
Research Article

 The purpose of the study was to investigate the difference between sexually abused and non-sexually abused children on Human-Figure-Drawings graphic indicators which was developed by Dr. Sidun and Dr. Chase in 1985. The results are as followings: 


1. The sexually abused children tend to draw more of following graphic indicators than non-sexually abused but emotionally disturbed group: figures omitted, line pressure/unusually heavy, multiple figures, large or unusual ears, nose emphasized, mouth omitted, hands omitted, and presence of navel. 

2. The sexually abused children tend to draw more of following graphic indicators than non-sexually abused and well-adjusted group: placement of figure/upper left quadrant, multiple figures, neck omitted, hands omitted, figures omitted, bottom of torso not closed, geometric figure, large or unusual ears, mouth omitted, presence of navel, and clothing omitted. 

3. Sidun-Chase scoring categories were able to correctly differentiate the sexually abused children from non-sexually abused children. After the process of list-wise deletion of discriminant analysis, the top three and top ten most powerful predictors are identified. 

Based upon the above results, relevant assessment and counseling implications were discussed and suggestions for future research and practice were presented.
