Reflections on Online Freudian Analytic Psychodrama

Abstract

The article explores the main challenges that occur in Freudian analytic psychodrama groups, in the transition to online therapy. I introduce the literature on Freudian analytic psychodrama groups and then -based on clinical examples from my experience with online groups- I address changes and challenges in 4 areas of the therapeutic processes. The experimented setting shows that the body drives are conditioned by the online mode in order for us to experience an intense and new emotional condition. This practice reveals that challenges fully invest our identity, our reflective and symbolic capacity. We easily adapt to take on and maintain the unconscious dimension.
