ABSTRACT

Ceremonial rituals during annual pilgrimages to graves of holy men are thus used as stage-setting hasteners for dreaming and to involve the dead holy man in the psychodramatic dream in order to receive advice or a hint from him that would then be used to reinforce future action. Therapeutically, the psychodrama may thus become the meeting point between past memories and future dreams; this chapter explores the temporal element in role-playing a bit further. S. Freud, an exponent of genetic psychology and psychobiology, found going back and trying to find the causes of things of particular interest”. After introducing the Midrashic system of “deterministic free will” as a principle underlying the possibility of dialogue between past and future, the chapter considers whether the paradoxical double-bound system is unknown to the modern psychological thinker. In A. Bandura’s theory, as in most common psychological theories, there are no clear assumptions about how the son may influence or surpass the father’s modeling behavior.
