Title: "Leah McNaughton, PPAT"
Medium: 18" x 24" Paper and markers
I had my brothers girlfriend do the Person Picking an Apple from a Tree test for this homework assignment. Having someone I know so well conduct the experiment while I acted like the therapist was somewhat strange because she felt like I knew what everything meant and was analyzing her work while she did it, but really I wasn't too sure what to look for; however, this did lead me to realize that it is probably not the best idea to be a therapist for someone you know because it will be hard for them to view you that way when they already see you as a friend. Although I'm not 100% sure on what to look for when analyzing a PPAT test, here's some of the things I noticed in hers. Her lines are very sporadic and none of them actually make a connection with the trunk of the tree. Her person has a bit of a "rubber arm" issue, but I do see that he actually was successful in retrieving his apple from the tree. Conducting this experiment was fun, and has intrigued me to learn more about the PPAT test.
