Abstract

This case is presented as an example of how psychodrama was used by a therapist in a clinical setting to free a chi1d from several tics and a partial paralysis of his upper right arm. Due to the circumstances in the case, the therapist was limited to one or two sessions. Although the child had suffered for six months with these symptoms prior to referral to our clinic, the below described psychodrama seems to have given the child complete symptom relief as they have not reappeared up to the present (eighteen months since the psychodrama session
