This qualitative study uses a heuristic model to investigate the relationship between the dramatherapist, the client and the puppet during the Dramatherapy sessions, as experienced by the researcher. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the researcher’s subjective experience informs and can support the therapeutic relationship in Dramatherapy. The paper contains a literature review about the Dramatherapy, play and puppetry. Puppet as a projective technique is applicable in numerous therapeutic procedures, such as psychotherapy, play therapy, expressive arts therapy, psychodrama and Dramatherapy. The approach where the principles and techniques of art therapy, Dramatherapy, play therapy and psychodrama are combined is known as therapeutic puppetry (Arnoff, 2005;117). The puppet helps the client to distance oneself from one’s own emotions and to explore them. Through six stages of heuristic research described by Moustakas, the researcher has undertaken autobiographic internal exploration of her personal enthusiasm with puppets (Moustakas, 1990; 27). This research aims to describe the experience of a dramatherapist who uses puppets in her work with clients. The nature of the relationship between the dramatherapist and the puppet is more than that of a projective technique, because the dramatherapist is, by using the puppet, involved into creative processes. Through the medium of the puppet, the relationship between the dramatherapist and the client gets a new dimension while playing and acting together. This paper could be most relevant to those working with clients using methods of therapeutic puppetry because it may lead to better understanding of processes during the Dramatherapy sessions between the dramatherapist and the client.
