“I AND MY WORLD”: WORKSHOP WITH PEOPLE LIVE WITH HIV/AIDS

ABSTRACT

This article reports a workshop with eight HIV-positive patients, who were asked to represent their world using intermediate objects, with the objective of encouraging the representation, observation and contemplation, outside of themselves, of their world. The results point to the beneficial use of psychodramatic methodology, propitiating the emergence of feelings, emotions, and their treatment, in a collective experiential opportunity, among companions in an organic and social struggle. Undoubtedly, psychodrama favored the strengthening of interpersonal relationships, the achievement of the workshop’s objectives, and the firm continuation of its use.
