The function of metatheatre in dyadic psychodrama with adolescents

  • Angela Sordano

摘要

The approach, described in this article of the Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie, refers to the use of dyadic intersubjective analytical psychodrama in the treatment of adolescents. The intersubjective analytical psychodrama considers personality as a field governed not only by the Ego and the individual self, but also by the social, the transpersonal, and the collective unconscious. This articulated psychodynamic paradigm integrates the relational intersubjective perspective with group analysis and Jungian theories. We emphasise the dyadic, rather than one-to-one, because we consider the space where the analyst and patient jointly contribute to defining what is enacted in their relational field. In the dyadic psychodrama setting, the body serves as the starting point for a new subjective experience. At the same time, role-playing introduces a “metatheatre” (theatre within the theatre) level that offers the opportunity for symbolic images and objects to emerge, thereby bridging the conscious and the unconscious. It will be explained how these elements are intertwined by narrating two clinical cases.
