The author presents a psychoanalytical perspective on psychodrama as a passage from alienation to desire, the cure and relational modifications acting as supplementary benefit. The psychodramatic project is explained in four summarized directions: 1. the subject's assumption of his history in a process of symbolization through language, and this through game and group; 2. the renunciation to the master of language and the recognition of desire as unknown and nonsense; 3. the renunciation to alienating identifications and imaginary questing; 4. the obstacle of the other's desire and the recognition of its radial and separate identity.
