A study of the conjoint drawings of identical and fraternal twins: A pilot study

Abstract

This study examines the conjoint drawings of normal latency age identical and fraternal twins in order to illuminate twin dynamics as described in the psychoanalytic literature on twinship. Following a brief discussion of twin psychosexual development, the conjoint drawings of three pairs of identical twins and three pairs of fraternal twins are discussed. The term conjoint refers to the directive to design a picture together.
