description Introduction: For childrens mental health, different levels of family environment dysfunction are considered as risk factors. Aim: The aim of the study was to comparatively interpret the family drawings test for normal and divorced children as well as orphans and abandoned (9 to 14 years old) with an emphasis on the study of anxiety, depression, and aggression. Method: The present study was causal-comparative research. The statistical population included children aged 9 to 14 years from normal families, children of divorce, orphans, and abandoned in Tehran. The sample size consisted of 50 normal and 50 children from the other three groups who were determined based on the purposive assignment method and available sampling. For collecting the data, the Buss and Perry's Aggression Questionnaire, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, Child Depression Inventory, and also the Corman family Drawing test were used. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 through analysis of variance and multiple comparisons (Scheffe). Results: Findings showed that there is a high correlation between the scores of the anxiety index, depression, and aggression of children with the scores of these variables in the children's drawing test (P=0.000) on the other hand, the results of analysis of variance and Scheffe test showed that there was a significant difference between normal children and divorced children as well as orphans and abandoned (P=0.000, F=581.870) and the level of anxiety, depression, and aggression of abandoned children (196.15), orphaned children (186.69) and divorced children (174.55) was more than normal children (111.94).
