As medical doctor, psychiatrist and dramatherapist, I have been practicing and teaching dramatherapy for 35 years with different approaches.

In my presentation I will mention my satisfaction of the effective and fruitful results working with some models in the digital application during last year, but also the difficulties and questions which emerges.

 Some questions concern philosophical notions of the body, therapy, illness and wellness. References to online dramatherapy in the fields of therapy and education cannot evade questions with regards to the use of body, physical presence or rather physical absence, physical contact and physical interaction. How do we recognize the imaginary body, how does the symbolic body intervene and finally can the body be structured as speech and writing?

Since we find ourselves often engaged in exploring the notion of body image, online we have the opportunity to take advantage of body representations, symbols and body projections. 

We’ ll  have the chance  to investigate through the life- line technique this new route asking for new roles for the future dramatherapists.
