- Abstract
The article presents a study of the validity of some hypotheses for the qualitative interpretation of the help for children of elementary school age and the "phallic tree" as an indicator of psychosexual conflict. The occurrence of this type of tree in a normal adult might very well be interpreted the same as a very large chimney, that is, over concern about sexual matters with a need to demonstrate virility or as indicating exhibitionistic tendencies. Further evidence of sex differences is brought out when the phallic tree is correlated with age.
