ANXIETY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS AND THEIR INNER CHILD: ONLINE BIPERSONAL PSYCHODRAMA

Abstract

The study aimed to understand the contributions of bipersonal psychodrama in the identification and reparatory action of core scenes of university students with blunted spontaneity in the academic environment. An action research was carried out in an on-line bipersonal psychodrama format with two college students, accessed through the snowball technique. The sessions followed the steps of a psychodramatic session, its techniques, and tools. The analysis of the sessions wascarried out based on the theoretical assumptions of socionomics. It was identified that the core scenes related to the protagonists’ anxiety were associated to childhood. The status nascendis were worked in reparatory action with the wounded inner child of the protagonists, in order to help the development of spontaneity.
