The primary role of the image in the life of the mind is evident in an experience that we all have of ourselves, of our own selves. It is one that is presented, to put it evocatively, like a kind of interior “film,” one that excites us, involves us, makes us rejoice and suffer and, […]

Abstract During my work with mentally handicapped adolescents (mild and moderate) in a centre for special education, I quickly felt the need to offer a support to the clinical relationship.

Abstract Narration is defined between these two limits, historicizing and observation. Every narrative tends to be transformed into a history, every narrative is based on sensorial data and on the observation of others. Psychic temporality suitable for narration would not yet be that of historicizing, nor would it be the temporality of attention or observation. […]

Abstract With the evocative title of this paper “Sheherazade and Bluebeard” a well known tale that was written many years ago, I aim to portray how often during psychoanalytic sessions a patient will refer to literary texts, making quotations from stories and tales when he/she is unable to express his own fantasies and emotions. There […]

Abstract We present the clinical work, carried out by a team of therapists with autistic and psychotic children, within a Fairy-Tale Workshop.

How can Psychodrama provide a contribution to group psychotherapy? How is it possible to connect these two practices?

The description of the group dimension shows the effects of presence as systems of tension-attention due to the presence of individuals and to the immediate bond that develops between them. It […]
Abstract In this article is described how the elaboration of a massive traumatic experience can find some support and resources in the psychoanalytic process of group’s psychodrama.
