Description:
This strength-based experiential workshop will be facilitated in-action. This workshop will highlight historical and theoretical similarities between social work with groups and sociometry/psychodrama. Participants will experience a stimulating learning process grounded in interpersonal neurobiology research and practical applications for group work in treatment, education/training, supervision, and community settings. The presenter will highlight clinical uses of experiential sociometry and psychodrama using vignettes from his work experience in the aforementioned settings. Participants will join in sociometric group explorations with an emphasis on its capacity for group assessment, fostering group cohesion, and enriching inter-group relationships. Safety structures from the Therapeutic Spiral Model, a clinically-modified psychodrama approach for working safely with trauma, will be taught with a focus on post-traumatic growth. A short, psychodramatic vignette, grounded in positive psychology’s gratitude research, will be offered as an introduction to the power of psychodrama. Clinical theory and research behind experiential therapies will be outlined, including role theory, action theory, and spontaneity-creativity theory. Creative examples will be offered demonstrating how these experiential tools can be adapted for clinical practice in any setting, with any population or topic. A short time will be allotted for questions at the end.
Objectives:
1. Summarize the importance of safety and strengths in trauma treatment.
2. Identify at least one way in which social work with groups theory and sociometry/psychodrama theory intersect.
3. Discuss the process of using at least one experiential sociometric tool with client groups
