Un parque, un soñador, un grupo de niños: Psicodrama Infantil

Abstract

: This article has two objectives: the first one is to raise the awareness of psycho-therapy with children using psychodrama. The second is to situate in the life of its creator Jacobo Leví Moreno the events that contributed to creating what he called the third psychiatric revolution: group psychotherapy. To cover these two objectives, we have thought about his life, feelings, ideas, and the cultural context of his time. We have done this by following the idea that guides psychodramatic work: “creativity” accompanied by rigour in terms of facts. Finally, we show the application of psychodrama in the children’s clinic by means of some examples of intervention.
