Abstract:
The article argues, theoretically and empirically, that psychodrama – used as an integrative method (role play, staging, symbolic expression) and centered on the relationship with parents, especially the father figure – pro motes attachment resilience in adolescents. In a test-retest design with an experimental group and a control group (total N = 24, age 16–18 years), the psychodrama intervention produced: (a) significant increases in the secure attachment style (RSQ) and IPPA indicators for the relationship with parents; (b) robust improvements in emotional intelligence skills (INEM), especially self-regulation; (c) consistent reductions in maladaptive traits (PID-5) and clinical vulnerability (suicidality indicator, Friedmann); (d) reductions in self-deprecation (ASSI). The specific mechanisms of psychodrama (role reversal, "mirror", double, "surplus reality") are dis cussed, the ways in which they increase the flexibility of internal working models and the resilience of attach ment, as well as the methodological limits of the study.
