MALEFAN, Pascal Le  and  REBELO, Teresa. The puppet as mediation for mental suffering. Estilos clin. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.2, pp. 194-204. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v20i2p194-204.

The presence of puppets in psychotherapeutic devices exists for nearly a century, and we can say that today they are among the mediations often used in treating children and adults. In this article we focus on the field of clinical psychopathology and on the place that may be attributed to the puppet in the encounter with issues that cross the practice of a day hospital for children of a Medical Psychology Center (CMP).

Keywords : puppet therapy; therapeutic mediation; psychic suffering; clinical psychopathology.
