Psicodrama: Un escenario al servicio de la clínica

Abstract

This article addresses use of psychodrama, as a theoretical and technical tool for the care of some of the most severe symptoms and physical syndromes such as auditory hallucinations, autolytic ideation and behavior, posttraumatic stress and borderline personality disorder. This path takes into account the initial Moreno ́s contributions, as well as the most recent proposals. Moreno put suffering on stage to provide the patient with a second chance to take responsibility for his/her life through action. The final objective of the article is to show how we use stage and representation to face the specific characteristics of some of the ways in which suffering occurs.
