Drawings are often the way children choose to express themselves in a clinical setting, both individual and group. Understanding how to "listen" more effectively to drawings is a fundamental issue for any child clinician.

This article presents the T-MADE method in detail in order to enable every clinician confronted with children’s drawings to analyze them.
