Okay, my sister and I drew our trees.  Where do I find out where to interpret the drawings.  I can post them too.

Janet, my friend, Thanks for the comment on the tree. You are pretty much on-target with my interpretation and with the client's self report.  When you have time, do you mind sharing what you see in the discreet elements of the drawing...importance of dwelling to the right, sunshine behind the tree, tree without leaves, rootedness, etc.  I know what each of them meant in what you said, but readers might find the direct associations useful.

I would like to comment on this tree drawing.

 

The person who drew this tree likes a daily routine, is extremely honest, and sees a bright future in front of him/her.

The person may currently be searching for emotional support in order to pursue their goals.

 

Lovingly read,

Janet

When you say "more art than science" Vince, I think you are nailing the essence of what we who help others are doing. Indeed, not only is psychiatry more art than science, but in many ways medicine suffers when the "art is lost in the science". Are there universal truths about tree interpretation? What a good question. There seem to be some. They type of tree drawn seems significant. Whether the tree fills the page. Whether the tree is rooted or in the air. As the different folks post trees and we discuss them, you will see some solid ideas emerge.
