Elements of reparation in psychodrama and music therapy according to Melanie Klein                 17

Summary:

The paper presents fragments of reparative work with non-psychotic patients, using the Moreno's psychodrama method and music therapy (the Musical Portrait method of E. Galińska, concerning the "self" structure of the patient and the identity therapy) in the light of Melanie Klein's theory. Reparation of mourning (based on the dreams of the patient) and early childhood traumas, requiring the use of regression, up to the moment preceding the birth and directly after, using "musical breast-feeding" (played by mother and child by means of musical instrument) is described. All examples show the symbolic transformation of the "bad" object into a "good" one, with which the patient begins to identify himself.
