Abstract

Grattagliano I. USELFULNESS AND LIMITS OF THE FAMILY DRAWING TEST, IN THE EVALUATION OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN EXPERT TESTIMONY: A FIELD SURVEY Ignazio Grattagliano This study aims, to make a contribution exclusively casuistic, at assessing the ability of the Design of the Family to identify the graphic signs of sexual abuse, in the evaluation of child sexual abuse. Two groups, composed by 8 minors with ascertained (by the Italian Magistrature) sexual abuse, and 8 minors belonging to the control group, respectively, were compared. The drawings were analysed through an ad hoc grid composed by 17 graphic indicators. Results don’t show that two groups are very different in all examined variables. To date, it seems neither possible nor methodologically appropriate to use this tool in the forensic field as “proof” of any abuse suffered by the child.
