Book excerpt: Art based assessments tools have been used over the past decades to measure psychological symptoms and patterns associated with mental illness. This correlation study used the Formal Elements Art Therapy Scale (FEATS) ratings with the Person Picking an Apple From A Tree drawing and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) as measurements of depression. Seven of the fourteen FEATS elements most conducive to depression were correlated with the BDI. Overall there was a positive correlation between the BDI and two of the seven FEATS elements. Additional significance was found when the scores for males and females were analyzed separately, and also with those participants who did not carry an additional diagnosis of substance abuse.
