    AbstractDrawings by low back pain patients depicting the severity, type, and location of their pain have been suggested as a brief screening technique for psychological involvement in the pain complaints. A study of 212 back pain patients showed that pain drawings cannot validly be used in this way, since over half of the patients meeting MMPI criteria for psychological involvement in their pain were incorrectly identified as normal on the Pain Drawing test.
