ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides an important point by saying that the creation of images in imagination allows them to be grieved, attacked, separated from, or transformed in a way that may otherwise be impossible. It explains how projection and introjection constitute part of this process. The psychodramatic process is an externalization onto the stage of the protagonist’s inner-object relationships from within their psychic world. The book highlights how a patient might be avoiding their inner turmoil by hiding behind a skilfully performed dance. It describes an image of a patient being lost in steady repetitive duple-time phrases instead of expressing feelings of distress and chaos in irregular rhythmic patterns. The book shows that the transference might be disguised or altered by the triadic nature of the relationship.
