THE DRAMATIC GAME IN SUPERVISION: FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPIST’S ROLE TO THE PATIENT’S PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCESS

ABSTRACT

From the relationship with the patient emerge feelings, doubts, fantasies, and fears that eventually escape from the inner world of a therapist. These are obstacles that often reflect blockages and fears, which also limit the release of the patient’s spontaneity. The article discusses the supervision with psychodramatic techniques as an element in the training and development of the therapist’s role, reporting a case study in the psychotherapeutic scope. Its objective is to highlight the dramatic game as a possibility of recognizing personal aspects of the supervisee that interfere in the psychotherapeutic process and the spontaneous-creative strategy of his interventions, integrating knowledge to the experiential dimension. The study concluded that the supervisee felt professionally safer, also recognizing the significant importance of the supervisor in this process.
