PSYCHOLOGICAL EMERGENCY ATTENDANCE IN THE PSYCHODRAMA FRAMEWORK: ENCOUNTER WITH DEVIANT SUBJECTIVITIES

Abstract

This work reports an investigation based on clinical encounters with users of a support institution who present delusional discourses. The Psychological counseling based on Psychodrama theory was the reference adopted. The interactions between therapists and patients were registered in research diaries, seeking to analyze the experiences and the suffering narrated, as well as the impact on the therapist. The methodology of the Grounded Theory was used, with a qualitative character. The delusions were perceived as modes of existence that should be accepted. The suffering in the face of destabilizing experiences demonstrated connections between intense experiences and fragmented subjectivities. The therapists were compelled to sustain the tensions present in the encounter with disorganized subjective forms and to welcome the delirious productions.
