Hi Elaine,
 The process of Souldrama gives structure for a sequence of scenes ( or veils) to deal with situations like this that you can use in a short time. Each scene will lead out of the guilt to forgiveness, etc. and deepens the level of transformation. Blesssings, Connie

I am looking for an article that spells out the
sequence of scenes in a psychodrama for dealing with
guilt.
situation 
the Protagonist had an argument with her mother and
yelled at her. the mother yelled back and the next
day while the P was at school the mother sufferered an
brain aneuyrism and died.
the P was 12 when this happened and is now 27 and
still feels guilt.
The drama was as follows:
the P chose an auxilliary to be mother. 
role reversal-speaking as the M [with some interview
questions from director]
the P said she was in heaven looking down on her child
and not happy that daughter felt guilt. 
continuing as M talked about a long standing medical
condition with headaches, many md visits some with
child accompanying her. M continued to drink and drug
and eat prohibited foods. Very insistant on daughter
not feeling guilty.
forgiving herself.
RR P hears auxilliary as mother repeat most of this.

P chooses auxil to be self at 12 yrs old. who comes
up and joins them
P watches and listens as M tells 12 year old same
things.
P is encouraged herself to tell 12 year old she does
not need to feel guilty any more.
RR P with 12 year old self who repeats messages 
P hears as 12 year old from adult self and Mother
RR return to adult self and release child from guilt.
forgives self
final hug all 3 and 
sharing.
This is the way I have always done this-especially
with incest victims/survivors, believing that the P
must experience the forgiveness as a child and not
just as an adult that s/he needs to forgive
herself/himself.
I know that TSM does a more involved and lengthly
process for this, but since I work alone and rarely
have more than 1 hour to work within-this is the
framework I use. I have become extremely directive at
times-telling A what to say by doubling statements .
There is probably something written on this and my
students have asked for an article they can read on
this.
I would appreciate any citations you all can come up
with
thanks
