Abstract

The objective of this study was to generate a reliable and valid scale that assessed the development of abilities focused on problem-solving through artistic techniques and materials on the therapeutic setting. On a 216 sample a 14 item Likert scale was evaluated. With a Cronbach’s alpha’s value of .85, the resulting instrument reliability was corroborated; its three conforming factors explaining 59.96% of the total variance. No significant differences were found associated to gender.
