Um caso sobre o brincar, o Psicodrama e as relações afetivas

Abstract

This article studies a child clinical case followed in a Psychology clinic-school. The client was referred to psychotherapy follow-up under complaints of bad behavior and underachievement from the school where she studied and, according to her mother, hostile behaviors in the family. The work aims to discuss a child clinical case in the light of theoretical background ofPsychodrama. It was noted that, through playing house, the client often adopted aggressive and hostile attitudes of her characters (daughter, mother, grandmother) to the character played by the trainee (grandfather/father). It was observed that, since it only occurred in this ludic mode, playing house represented, in the supplementary reality, a singular space of catharsis, spontaneity-creativity, action economy and expressiveness.
