Comparative genetic approach to the study of body image of children from 4 to 14 years of age using the fairy tale of the ant.

This work was designed to study the body image of 3 groups of normal children (ns = 40) whose ages were 4 to 14 years with the assistance of a new projective technique, the tale of the ant from Royer. The data provide partial validation of this new procedure. Indicators of normal and pathological answers are given. Directions for research are suggested.
