The (Dramatic) Process of Psychotherapy

Pages 41-55 | Published online: 21 Sep 2011
 

Abstract

Psychotherapy can be conceived as a symbolic drama in which patients can experientially realize their capacity to change. Methods derived from hypnosis can empower therapy without the use of formal trance. A case conducted by Milton Erickson is presented and deconstructed in order to illuminate Erickson's therapeutic patterns. A model is offered for adding drama to therapy, and the model is placed into a larger model of choice points in psychotherapy.

Il processo (drammatico) della psicoterapia

La psicoterapia può essere considerata come un dramma simbolico in cui i pazienti possono sperimentare la loro capacità di cambiare. I metodi derivati dall'ipnosi possono potenziare la terapia senza l'uso di una trance formale. Presento un caso condotto da Milton Erickson e da me decostruito per illustrarne gli schemi terapeutici. Offro un modello per aggiungere dramma alla terapia inserito in un modello più ampio di punti di scelta nella terapia.
