Child abuse can have serious destructive effects on children's mental health and development. Throughout the years, some studies have been conducted to utilize drawing tests in a practical manner for the assessment of the effects of child abuse. This study was to compare drawing test results of physically abused children with those of normal children. A sample of 50 physically abused and 50 normal (N = 100) children were selected via purposive sampling. Both groups of subjects were assessed by Human Figure, House, Tree, and Family Drawings. Multiple and one-way analysis of variance were performed: Hotelling's Trace Test compared the groups across variables of depression, anxiety, aggression, low self esteem, and guilt feelings. The abused children group rated significantly higher than the normal group in all four tests, except on the variable guilt feelings which was omitted due to its constancy in the control group's first three tests. Physically abused children are more depressed, anxious, and aggressive than normal children. They also posses lower self esteem and suffer from more guilt feelings.
