Scenodrama is a group therapy based on a specific setting for young children emerging from autistic and psychotic pathology or with major behavioural problems : aggressiveness and hyperactivity. This carrying and containing framework helps develop semaphoric and metaphoric functions. Its specific structuring of time and rules exerts pressure to boost the process of symbolisation. Thanks to their joint and differentiated functions, the therapists guarantee the framework’s solidity. Clinical vignettes extracted from a film on scenodrama show how it works.
