Some contexts favor psychologization, whereby a situation is reduced to the individual concerned. This unconscious defense protects against the terror of feeling like a powerless victim of a pathogenic environment, while at the same time preventing one from freeing oneself from it. Burnout is often symptomatic of this process. How can support be provided, in therapy or in coaching, under these conditions?The minidrama method situates the subject’s experience within its links to the environment. This form of psychoanalytical psychodrama (“-drama”) by projection onto miniature figures (“mini-”) can be used by therapists and coaches with a solid psychoanalytical foundation. It eases the analysis of unconscious issues in families and organizations, for both clinical practice and research.
