    Summary :

    Drawing develops with their ability to tolerate experiences of absence, and it is a tool that reflects an individual's psychical world, and Projective Children's Drawing Tests provide a rich source of information about individual, social, and family psychical dynamics. This study presents the analysis of the psychical assessment of a 16-year-old girl referred by a child and adolescent psychiatrist with a diagnosis of conduct disorder, using projective drawing tests. The results of the psychical world examined through the Draw a Person, The Tree-Drawing, and Kinetic Family Drawing tests were evaluated in light of the findings from the clinical pre-interview conducted before the drawing, and discussed in the context of early object relations, ego-construction, and the concept of incestuous.
