Abstract

Existing research finds that how the client feels towards the therapist and the therapist towards the client will have a direct impact on the therapeutic relationship. Yet little has been written about how to understand and process the therapist–client relationship in drama therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to illustrate how a relational perspective and use of the Relational-Roles Assessment Protocol (R-RAP) may be implemented in the therapist’s embodied supervision and collaborative therapeutic processes. This article extends the existing R-RAP by providing how-to steps and case illustrations for applying the R-RAP to supervisory settings and in collaboration with clients. The article ends with emergent ideas and considerations for future applications.

Resumen

La investigación existente encuentra que la forma en que el cliente se siente hacia el terapeuta y el terapeuta hacia el cliente tendrá un impacto directo en la relación terapéutica (Knox y Cooper 2010; Knox 2008). Sin embargo, poco se ha escrito sobre cómo entender y procesar la relación terapeuta-cliente en la dramaterapia. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este artículo es ilustrar cómo se puede implementar una perspectiva relacional y el uso del Protocolo de Evaluación de Roles Relacionales (R-RAP) en la supervisión corporeizada del terapeuta y los procesos terapéuticos colaborativos. Este artículo amplía el Protocolo de Evaluación de Roles Relacionales (R-RAP) existente, al proporcionar pasos y casos ilustrativos de cómo aplicar el R-RAP en espacios de supervisión y en colaboración con clientes. El artículo termina con ideas emergentes y consideraciones para aplicaciones futuras.

Résumé

Les recherches existantes montrent que ce que le client ressent envers le thérapeute et le thérapeute envers le client aura un impact direct sur la relation thérapeutique (Knox et Cooper 2010; Knox 2008). Pourtant, peu de choses ont été écrites sur la façon de comprendre et de traiter la relation thérapeute-client dans la thérapie par le théâtre. Par conséquent, le but de cet article est d’illustrer comment une perspective relationnelle et l’utilisation du protocole d’évaluation des rôles relationnels (R-RAP) peuvent être mises en œuvre dans la supervision expressive du thérapeute et les processus thérapeutiques collaboratifs. Cet article enrichit le protocole d’évaluation des rôles relationnels (R-RAP) en fournissant des étapes et des illustrations de cas pour appliquer le R-RAP aux paramètres de supervision et en collaboration avec les clients. L’article se termine par des idées émergentes et des considérations pour envisager de futures applications.
