PSYCHODRAMA:
Conceived and developed by Jacob L. Moreno, MD, psychodrama employs guided dramatic action to examine problems or issues raised by an individual (psychodrama) or a group (sociodrama). Using experiential methods, sociometry, role theory, and group dynamics, psychodrama facilitates insight, personal growth, and integration on cognitive, affective, and behavioral levels. It clarifies issues, increases physical and emotional well being, enhances learning and develops new skills.
SOCIOMETRY:
J. L. Moreno investigated the structure of groups and society and developed Sociometry-the scientific measurement of social relationships in groups. As in systems models, the individual is viewed in relationship to others. Sociometry in its most basic sense, can be best characterized as a collection of methods to investigate and evaluate networks of existing and preferred relationships. Specifically, sociometry is the study of interpersonal choices regarding criteria of interest to the investigator. Sociometry is not a study of formal group structure (e.g., official hierarchies), rather it is a phenomenological study of people's interpersonal choices (Treadwell & Kumar, 1985, 1997). Sociometric explorations measure, observe, and intervene in the natural attraction/rejection processes within a given group, e.g., family, social, work, community. These explorations may be didactic or action oriented and include social atoms, role diagrams, interpersonal relations, sociograms, and social networks.
