Sažetak
Resistance refers to all types of behaviour that oppose the exploration processes in the therapeutic process and inhibit work.
Very common types of resistances, such as forgetting the time of session, being late, non-payment of sessions and such are found in
every type of psychotherapy, including psychodrama psychotherapy. The attempt to break resistance in order to evoke changes could
be dangerous as it represents the necessary defence mechanism and it is also a vital element of the person’s functioning in therapy.
In psychodrama, which is a type of action method of group psychotherapy, resistance can manifest through continuous verbalization of problems, in not wanting to act out the problem, the protagonist’s typical non-verbal message or the most obvious manifestation: the absence of the protagonist. This paper will be on the typical resistance which the therapist has noticed during the first session of psychodrama psychotherapy, with a small group of adult clients. As the group was young and with undeveloped cohesiveness,
resistance represented a certain balancing power for maintaining mental homeostasis of the group.
