We studied 3320 drawings, made in the process of art therapy, of the 145 patients (88 women and 57 men) with diagnosis - Schizophrenia F20 and 416 drawings of the 43 patients (23 women and 20 men) with different forms of neurosis (among them F34.1 and F40 - F48). In art therapy participated institutionalized as well as ambulatory patients. The age of the participants varied between 15-65 years. Our attention was concentrated at the spontaneous drawings. We used structural analysis of the drawings and method of amplification. Specifications in the series of the drawings were viewed in context with the clinical picture. The results of the research showed, that dynamics in the series of drawings and associations are the criteria of good prognosis for patients with schizophrenia and neurosis. No dynamics and stereotypy are connected with bad prognosis in course of the disease.
