Abstract

The purpose of the study: to study the possibility of using the associative drawing test (ART) on sexual offenders who have committed crimes against minors and serving criminal sentences in prisons. Object of research: analysis of specific manifestations of graphic phenomena and their interpretation in the aspect of the relationship of the individual to the opposite sex, characteristics of his image, the severity and direction of aggression, as well as features of subjective perception and evaluation of the surrounding reality. The study included 34 male convicts, of which sex offenders made up 12 people (the first group), property offenders, 22 people (the second group). The results of the study: it was found typical for sex offenders, graphic elements and interpretation, indicating the presence of current problems related to paralioi identification, unstable poliolefin by the way I split gender roles for men and women, the inability to build a constructive relationship or dissatisfaction with relations with the opposite sex. The use of ART in dealing with sexual offenders serving criminal sentences in correctional institutions for crimes committed against minors as a basic technique is limited, since graphic images can be associated with psychogenic factors of the penitentiary social environment that affect the actual mental state.
