ABSTRACT

The psychodrama closes with a considerable amount of warmth, pain, and sadness shared by the other members of the group in relation to their experiences in their auxiliary work and to what it represented for each of them in terms of their own lives. A transition to the present day is being prepared as a possible prelude to the protagonist being able to talk to her real—as opposed to psychodramatic—parents. Sue's psychodrama will be analysed according to its constituent themes, in the language of systemic thinking. From a systems perspective the psychodrama can be discussed in terms of its various complementary themes: recursive Complementarities and the Parts of the System are Interrelated. The systemic approach involves looking at the connectedness of apparently independent phenomena. Sue sees the issues in order of importance, the most relevant being the first that she mentions.
