The Use of Psychodrama and Sociometry Techniques in Psychodynamic and Other Process Groups

ABSTRACT

Psychodrama and its handmaiden sociometry, once prominent in the field of group therapy, are rarely practiced in outpatient groups today. The author describes how simple-to-use, elegant, and powerful techniques from psychodrama and sociometry can safely and seamlessly be applied as first aid to a struggling outpatient group, enhancing the group’s spontaneity, depth of connection, and capacity to engage in here-and-now process work.
