“When I wanted what I can no longer do”

The article, published in the Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie (ZPS), deals with explanatory approaches and psychodramatic interventions in monodrama therapy concerning the treatment of mutism and separation anxiety in children, adolescents, and young adults. The focus lies on differentiations and similarities in hypothesis formation in the therapeutic support of these disorders. On one hand, the question of causes is addressed, and on the other hand, possible intervention guidelines are illuminated.
