Psychocinema. A creative psychotherapeutic technique
Abstract:
Psychocinema is a technique that offers severa options for the rehabilitation of psychotic patients. It allows the patient to dramatize a situation that he cannot express verbally. It helps him to approach reality, to mend his greatly damaged way of communication by guiding him towards creation. These changes are achieved by the group while acting as an 'agent of change' that really 'changes'. Psychocinema intends to introduce new ways of communication in the rehabilitation of the 'mentally ill'. Art, science and work are combined to understand the human being and to help him preserve his own identity and equilibrium within the pressures of discordant communications in the social environment.
