The representation of pandemic anxieties in a psychoanalytic group psychodrama for adolescents and young adults

The Covid-19 pandemic posed challenges for the psychological care of adolescents, and in particular those in therapeutic groups. Exploring three sessions of a psychoanalytic psychodrama group in early 2021 in a day hospital in Paris, the article considers how the pandemic threatened the intra- and intersubjective relations, and how these dangers were elaborated. The psychodrama group helped the adolescents to create fantasy and symbolisation activities, so that a transitional space could be restored.
