ABSTRACT
Wliile George was talking to the two aspects of his mother Paul had moved to the back of the room, allowing him to get a clear view of the session.
T love you mum. You'll never leave me will you?' 'No, of course not Georgie.... I love you too.' The protagonist was deeply involved in a cathartic confrontation with his
mother which was now possible because the 'mother9 he hated was now split off, on a separate chair, from the mother he loved. For the first time for many years, his ambivalence was avoided through the use of a technique of psychodrama. Vie group had been absorbed and involved as they watched the session. Paul felt pleased and began to think about what might happen next in the psychodrama.
