An Evaluation of Three Bender-Gestalt Scoring Systems as Indicators of Psychopathology
Journal of Clinical Psychology
(1982)
Abstract
Quantified Bender-Gestalt protocols of 120 clients using the Hutt, Pascal-Suttell, and Pauker scoring systems. Scores were correlated with two criteria of psychopathology, diagnosis of psychiatric disability and self-reported anxiety, and age and IQ. The results suggest that: (a) Ratings of B-G protocols are highly reliable; (b) B-G scores are not predictive of global psychopathology; and (c) B-G scores are correlated moderately with age and IQ. This evidence does not support the validity of B-G scoring systems as indicators of psychopathology.
