Abstract
The rationale and construction of the Bene-Anthony Family Relations Test suggest that it could be a valuable clinical projective technique. Little research involving the instrument has been reported, and most studies have been hampered by failure to report essential information, small sample size, poor design, and inappropriate statistical procedures. Investigations reported to date have yielded equivocal evidence of the test's validity. Additional research, for which specific directions are suggested, is needed to indicate the instrument's validity and usefulness or call for its abandonment or revision.Keywords
