This three session series will begin to explore some of the history and methodology of psychodrama (founded by Jacob Moreno, MD) along with an introduction to sociometry and its use to build connections in groups. Sociometric exercises are used as warm-ups for individual, family or group therapy to decrease anxiety and increase access to spontaneity. The goal of this series is to teach the psychodramatic techniques of doubling, mirror position and role reversal and the sociometric technique of the social atom.
