ABSTRACT
This article aims to highlight the psychotherapeutic effects of public socionomic acts. A public psychodrama experience took place at the São Paulo Cultural Center in 2018. One of the participants in this act, which brought the protagonist theme in an intense way, was later individually attended to during four psychotherapeutic sessions. During individual consultations, it was possible to elaborate what was experienced in public psychodrama, reaffirming the effectiveness of the work. In the socionomic act in question, we used theatrical language, a fundamental part of the device created by the Gota D’Água group, as a guide for the work. Initially seen as a socio-educational intervention device, I defend, in this article, its psychotherapeutic potential given by the dramatic action.
