Heroin and nonopiate users, psychotic and nonpsychotic, were compared on the Bender-Gestalt test, a mental ability scale, and an affect adjective checklist. Analyses of variance and covariance indicated heroin effects were highly significant (p < .01) on the Bender-Gestalt test. Psychosis effects lacked significance on any test. Constricted use of space, a tendency to rotate designs, and persev...

the bender-gestalt test was given to thirty mentally-retarded psychiatric patients. the mean, standard deviation, and standard error were 56.73, 26.25, and 4.80 respectively. rotation was the most frequent major deviation which occurred in all the designs. design # 7 was the most difficult one to be reproduced in the sample. this design by itself, was subject to 47% of distortion, 79% of omissi...

the current study was performed with the aim of investigating the diagnostic utility of bender-gestalt test-ii (bdt-ii) in two groups of patients with major depression and brain-damage, and to compare them with normal individuals. this was a causal-comparative study. major depressive patients (n=30), brain-damaged patients (n=30) and normal subjects (n=30) were compared using bdt-ii in copying,...
