Abstract
This article is a response to Joiner and Schmidt (this issue) concerning their study "Size, Detail, and Line Heaviness in Children's Drawings as Correlates of Emotional Distress: (More) Negative Evidence" (Joiner, Schmidt, & Barnett, 1996). Several psychometric problems in Joiner and Schmidt's response to our critique of this study are identified. Also, several conceptual similarities and dissimilarities between Waehler's (this issue) position regarding figure drawings and ours are discussed.
