Abstract

The present paper was developed in order to obtain a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology of the “Universidad Santo Tomás”, it belongs to the clinical psychology emphasis and the line of investigation: “Psychology, human systems and mental health” and “ Familiy stories and narratives in diverse contexts”. The phenomenon studied was the loss in a couple context, asking how to understand and change, in a systemic psychotherapy setting, the experience of loss after a break-up, using artistic, narrative and bodily strategies?. The main aim of this work is to understand and change the experience of loss after a break-up in a case study that took place in the psychology practice of the University. The case study was developed with a 41-year-old woman, who claimed difficulties after the break-up of a three-year relationship. The process of 13 sessions allowed us to conclude that the loss, in a systemic psychotherapy setting, can be managed with narrative, creative and body strategies in the individual approach. This will enhance new interpretations and visions of the patient, towards a change experience.
