A procedural critique of "Bender Gestalts of organic children: accuracy of clinical judgment".

Abstract

Summary It is suggested that conclusions from a study by Wagner and Murray be tempered with respect to several procedural flaws: (a) their failure to include an appropriate control group for comparison with brain-injured Ss; and (b) failure to adequately describe the organic group. The results, therefore, cannot be taken as evidence for or against the use of the Bender Gestalt Test in differential diagnosis of brain-impaired children.
