Abstract
Clinical graphotherapy is a relaxation psychotherapy that uses the mediation of the body engaged in the tracings produced at the request of the therapist. It is basically for children, adolescents and adults who have problems with their relationship to writing. Using tonic dialogue, with the movements projected in the form of lines traced on a large sheet of paper, and helped by the watchful eye and words of the therapist, the patient can identify him/herself in their corporal experience. This precise framework permits the patients to emerge as the subject and helps them to come to terms with their identity. Indeed, this phase of separation must succeed so that the gesture of writing becomes harmonious.
