ABSTRACT
Virtual psychotherapy was intensified in the pandemic’s 2020. We aim to reflect on the challenges of the psychodramatic method with children in the online modality including the steps, tools and the tele construct. We identified adaptive therapeutic possibilities in the psychodramatic sandplay method and difficulties in sustaining the conflict, affective continence, connectivity, privacy and confidentiality. Socionomic theory with its psychodynamic techniques provides a foundation for distance practice. We signal the child’s Internal Healing Self (spontaneous creative nature) as a guiding guide for clinical management.
