The purpose of this study is to investigate the mother-child interactions of functional and dysfunctional families by comparing their responses to kinetic family drawings. The subjects were 16 mother-child pairs of male middle-school students aged 13 to 15 years and their mothers residing in the metropolitan city C. These 32 subjects were administered the Korean version of the family functionality scale by Yu Yeong-ju & Choi Hee-jin (2003), and median-divided into 16 functional and 16 dysfunctional families. The results of this study are as follows. First, regarding the mothers' responses, there were no significant differences between the functional and dysfunctional family mothers' KFD responses in both the activity dimension and place‧distance‧barrier dimension for the mother figure and the son figure, except for in the activity level, the subscale of the activity dimension for the son figure. Second, as for the children's responses, there were no significant differences between the functional and dysfunctional family children's KFD responses for the mother figure at each KFD, but significant differences were found for the mother-child figures' direction, a subscale of the place‧distance‧barrier dimension. As for the son figure at each KFD, there were significant differences between the two families in the overall activity dimensions and their subscales of interaction level, cooperation level, and nurturing level, and the place‧distance‧barrier dimension and its subscale of mother-child direction.
