This study was to investigate the visuoperceptual and constructive ability disturbances of patients with traumatic brain injury. The subject groups consisted of following: the patients with traumatic brain injury with focal lesion in brain imaging study(N=15); the patients with traumatic brain injury without focal lesion(N=15); and the patients with neurotic disorder(N=15). The copy phase of HABGT was administered and the reproduction was scored by the psychopathology scale and the adience-abience scale. The following results could be obtained. First, there were significant differences in the psychopathology scale and the adience-abience scale between traumatic brain injury groups and neurotic group. Second, there were statistically significant differences in clousure difficulty of the psychopathology scale, and in height and width, closure difficulty and elaboration individual scales of adience-abience scale between traumatic brain injury groups and neurotic group. Third, there were significant differences in change in angulation, simplification, overlapping difficulty individual scales of psychopathology scale, and use of page, rotation, simplification individual scales of adience-abience scale between traumatic brain injury group with focal lesion and neurotic group. Fourth, there was significant difference in position, 1st drawing individual scale of the psychopathology scale between traumatic brain injury group without focal lesion and neurotic group. Finally, the clinical implication and limitation of this study were discussed.
