The objective of this work was to present an account of this experience, with a view to the relevance of highlighting a theme little explored in a sensitive way as presented: affective lack, depression, suicide and abandonment, present in all ages, professions and relationships. As a method, role play techniques were used with fictional characters based on the different groups of people who suffer from affective deprivation. It was concluded that the reactions to the presented project gave rise to many reflections and emotions on the part of all those involved in the dynamics, thus reaching the ideal of dealing with the affective lack and its consequences in a human way.
