Abstract
This study, published in the Zeitschrift fur Psychodrama und Soziometrie, aims to explore psychological needs of a traumatized female child, aged eight in Gaza Strip, a conflict area, through analyzing her roles in a therapeutic journey of psychodrama. The study tools include observation card, roles tree, and interviews with a child and her mother. Results showed that child roles developed clearly in three phases. In the first phase, the child played her real situation in the family as she played weak and avoidant roles because she needed to feel safe. Then at the second phase, the child roles were developed and changed to powerful roles, where the child began to offer help for others as she felt more confident and wanted to feel loved and belonged. At the last phase, the child acted many strong and assertive roles as she needed to feel independent and competent. She impressed everyone when she played the role of a lawyer and talked with a loud voice against injustice.
