Abstract
This article provides an explanation of the origins and conceptualization of the term ‘intermediary object’, based on the clinical practice developed by Jaime Rojas-Bermúdez, with chronic psychotic patients sunk into self-absorption. Its characteristics and relationship with natural communication are presented as well as its applications in other psychotherapeutic contexts; this led us to conceptualize the intra-intermediary object and allowed us to work more effectively with objects in the psychodrama clinic.
