Abstract
The definition, physiological and psychological correlates, etiology, and epidemiology of anxiety were dealt with extensively in Chapters 1–4. This chapter will deal with three areas: the need for projective techniques, the nature of projective techniques and their underlying hypothesis, and finally the general patterns of anxiety manifestations across projective techniques as applied to children and adolescents.
