Kresba ľudskej postavy - interpretačné paradigmy

Human figure drawing test as a psychodiagnos-tic method has been used for almost 100 years. During this period it has gained its supporters and opponents. The human figure drawing test can be approached in several ways that have his-torically developed. The aim of this work is to present interpretative paradigms (complex eval-uation systems), which have different theoretical backrounds as well as ways of interpreting the results. Each of the approaches – performance based, projective, global, dynamic and typologi-cal – is presented by the main representatives, by the basic ideas behind their origin, manners of evaluation, but also by critical evaluation based on researches – pointing to perspectives and limits.
