The experience of reworking shame through psychodrama De Vries, Raymond

Abstract

The focus of the present research study was to explore the experience of reworking shame through psychodrama. Using an existentialphenomenological multiple case study design, the stories of three people were articulated. In depth semi-structured interviews were tape recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for themes. In total 15 themes emerged and provided the basis for constructing first person narrative "stories" to summarize the findings for each individual. Themes were clustered into three categories and discussed in the final chapter. The three categories were: the experience of shame, the experience of the enactment and the experience of change following the enactment. Limitations of the study, implications for counselling and ideas for future research were also considered.
