We analyze 154 valid samples obtained from the Drug Abuser Treatment Center in the southern Taiwan from April to June in 2010 by using questionnaires and drawings.

The score of family function is 83.27. In the Symbolic Geometrized Family Drawings’ characteristics, most of them use warm colors to symbolically represent mother, and use neutral colors to symbolically represent father, higher-location of parents’ figure. 2. There are two siginificant differences in the Symbolic Geometrized Family Drawing between lower and higher family function groups. They are the colors of father figure and the size of mother figure. They use neutral color to represent father or use middle size to represent mother in higher family function group. They use cold color to represent father or use small size to represent mother in lower family function group. 3.
