O Erosu i susretu u psihoterapiji
On Eros and Encounter in Psychotherapy

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to point out the field within the psychotherapy process that enables selfknowledge, and that is the field where “I and You” meet. A true encounter is what enables growth and a therapeutic effect on the client and the psychotherapist. One of the key tasks of the psychotherapy process is to stimulate and (re)discover vital energy in the client, which is called Eros. Eros thus becomes a place of vitality, creativity, and transformation, and ultimately a path to self-realization. Self-awareness and therapeutic growth in psychodrama are achieved fundamentally through the technique of “role reversal” which allows people to be seen from the perspective of another, which enriches and expands their experience of themselves and opens the way to change. Such a privileged position, which is made possible by a psychodramatic action of role reversal, is an important effect by which a person has the opportunity to interpret “oneself to oneself” and thereby overcome the limitations of the traditional subject-object dichotomy.
