S ummary . Most of the few tests designed specifically to investigate intra‐family relationships are based on psycho‐analytic concepts. A picture projective technique is described, which is based upon the simple theory that a child in a friendly environment, will draw upon his own experience to describe the activities of figures in ambiguous pictures. The pictures have been drawn to the authors' specifications. They show six basic family scenes which are replicated three times. This replication provides an internal check on the consistency of the replies. The accuracy of this technique was investigated by comparing the replies given to the pictures, with the information gained through psychiatric and other interviews with the families concerned.
