| Summary: | The objective of this study is to examine a method of child therapy following the earthquake that took place in Gemona in 1976. Thanks to the municipality of Lignano, the students of a school were involved. The scribble game and a method illustrated by Winnicott in Therapeutic Consultations in Child Psychiatry, which integrates scribbling and drawing, were administered and the works were shared. The scribble technique was administered one year after the seismic event. Winnicott’s method was therapeutic. The constructive socialization of one’s fears showed that therapy occurred where the therapist’s and children’s play areas overlapped, forming a sort of transitional area. In conclusion, collective methods, transitional objects and the sharing of pain were significantly important for postearthquake therapy.
