USING THE FAMILY PAPER SCULPTURE FOR EDUCATION, THERAPY, AND RESEARCH.

The Family Paper Sculpture is a semi-projective task useful in family life education, in clinical work with families, and in research involving family system variables. Families or individuals are asked to make a picture of the family using round disks for individuals, red and black strips to show similarities and differences among individuals, and boundary markers to show individuals who are separate, or pairs, or groups of individuals who belong together. Examples are given which demonstrate the value of the technique for educational, therapeutic, and research purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
