The Diagnostic Drawing Series (DDS) is unique among art therapy assessments in that it is a standardized evaluation supported by extensive research. The DDS combines art therapy's attention to materials, task, and process with the research methodology of the social sciences. Not predicated on any one model of art therapy or verbal psychotherapy, the DDS has proven to be a versatile resource for clinicians in the decade since its inception. The DDS, its administration, and its usefulness in clinical practice are described in the context of a structural approach which can be taught effectively to students and enhance accountability to clients and colleagues alike.
