ABSTRACT
This article aims to understand the benefits of using the self unfolding technique in psychological demands related to masculinities in a bipersonal psychodrama process. Through action research with an adult man, it was possible to identify cultural conserves linked to gender role. There is an assumption that masculinity requires physical and psychological vigor, not showing feelings, vulnerabilities and sensitivity, as well as a constant demand for work and productivity. By making the protagonist’s internal selves act together through the self unfolding technique, it was possible to encounter effective paths in search of biopsychosocial health, sometimes integrating and/or triggering other selves to act in the face of daily challenges.
