Amélie had undergone psychotherapy during a divorce that had proved particularly difficult. Several years later, she returned to see her psychotherapist when she learned that her children had been abused by their grandfather. She herself had been abused by this man when she was a child. But as she had never spoken about it, she had been unable to imagine that, having abused her daughter, he had done the same to her grandchildren. Faced with Amélie’s difficulties in expressing the situation verbally, her psychotherapist referred her to an individual psychodrama setting in a group. However, she very quickly aroused hatred in the facilitator. However, her benevolent inclusion in the psychodrama group gradually allowed Amélie’s defensive rigidity to be softened and her hatred to be dissolved in the countertransference.
