Zusammenfassung:Children with a life-threatening illness have experiences that are vastly different than healthy children. The goal of this study was to assess how children with cancer use the Color-Your-Life (CYL) technique and to compare the results to O'Connor's (1983) clinical impressions of this technique. The authors found differences in style of drawing, percentages of color/feeling represented in the drawings, and percentage of white space between pediatric cancer patients and a control group. Groups of children with different experiences appear to represent their feelings differently through the Color-Your-Life technique.
