The present study aims to determine the existence of differential graphic indicators in the test of Human Figure Drawing (HFD) among adolescents from 12 to 16 years, of both sexes, who have suffered chronic sexual assault by a kin or by a known person outside the family, those that are not suspected of such aggression. To do that, 130 graphic indicators were evaluated, of which 17 were significant considering the variable "sexual assault". Of these, 3 were present most frequently in sexually abused group and the 14 other remaining indicators are presented most frequently in the control group. Furthermore, differential responses were observed considering the sex variable in each study group.
