Book excerpt: This study examined the relationships between the Draw-a-Person-in-the-Rain (DAPR) assessment and two self-report measures, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the Coping Resource Inventory Scale (CRIS). A sample of 40 male and female clients with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses as well as co-occurring substance use disorders participated in the study. Three graduate students used a modified set of DAPR rating scales to score the drawings for stress and protection indicators. Intraclass correlation coefficients demonstrated satisfactory inter-rater reliability for both scales. The number of DAPR protection indicators correlated positively with the CRIS Self-Directedness scale and (marginally) with the Confidence scale and the Mental Tension Control subscale. The number of DAPR stress indicators did not correlate with either self-report measure.
