Abstract

In this clinical commentary, steps of a Drama Therapy Family Mask Protocol, implemented in a carceral setting, are discussed, using a case example. Steps include: mask making, ‘intermingling’, reparative family drama and participant reflection. Masks as a projective technique may provide a greater sense of safety in a forensic setting to support the participant’s experience while exploring their family drama. An autoethnographic response to the implementation of this protocol is processed through art and written response.

Resumen

En este comentario clínico, se discuten los pasos de un protocolo de dramaterapia para la elaboración de máscaras de familia, implementado en un entorno carcelario, usando un ejemplo de caso. Los pasos incluyen: la elaboración de máscaras, el ‘entremezclado’, la drama familiar reparadora y la reflexión de los participantes. Las máscaras como técnica proyectiva pueden proporcionar una mayor sensación de seguridad en un medio forense para apoyar la experiencia del participante mientras explora su drama familiar. Se procesa una respuesta autoetnográfica a la implementación de este protocolo a través del arte y la respuesta escrita.

Résumé

Dans ce commentaire clinique, les étapes d’un protocole de masque familial en drama thérapie, mis en œuvre en milieu carcéral, sont discutées à l’aide d’un exemple de cas. Les étapes comprennent: la fabrication de masques, la ‘rencontre’, le drame familial réparateur et la réflexion des participants. Les masques en tant que technique projective peuvent procurer un plus grand sentiment de sécurité dans un cadre carcéral pour soutenir l’expérience du participant tout en explorant son drame familial. Une réponse auto-ethnographique à la mise en œuvre de ce protocole est traitée par l’art et la réponse écrite.
