PSYCHODRAMA, BULIMIA NERVOSA IN ADOLESCENCE AND AFFECTIVITY

Abstract

Adolescence is a period marked by several biopsychosocial changes, such as the body. When this change does not correspond to the socially established standard of beauty, adolescents need to deal with frustrations and prejudices, which can lead them to become ill. This research is a case study of an adolescent who suffered from Bulimia Nervosa. In this article we will present the results of psychodramatic psychotherapy, especially the therapeutic work of the wounded inner child and the affective logic of conduct that favored the improvement of her eating disorder. We will also analyze how the body carries the socio-cultural scenes, in the search for affections in relationships. By reliving these scenes, in surplus reality, the patient can re-signify experiences of suffering that have released spontaneity-creativity and develop less suffered vincular modalities.
