Psychodrama and Sociometry:
Psychodrama, as conceived and developed by its creator, J. L. Moreno, M.D. (1889-1974), is a method which utilizes guided dramatic action to examine problems or issues raised in a group, or in individual counseling. Sociometry is a branch of the social sciences, based on the work of Moreno, which studies the formation and construction of groups and which features methods to describe and account for the interpersonal relations in groups.
IFS:
Internal Family Systems, or IFS®, was created by Richard Schwartz. IFS® is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of parts, which includes protective and wounded inner parts. With compassion and curiosity at its core, IFS® is a model which intends to bring compassion, healing and balance to every system.
What will IFS in action look like?
With the help of the group we can put our internal world into action. Participants will
learn and practice the skills needed to be able to concretise their parts by literally seeing
them, hearing them and interacting with them as they come to life. Through this
combination we can help our clients and ourselves develop curiosity and
compassion as we, not only witness but, experience these aspects of ourselves. IFS is a predominantly internal process guided by the therapist which is not easily accessible to all people. Psychodrama provides techniques to concretise and enact all the parts of our inner world to better understand and heal the relationships between aspects of ourselves. When internal parts are the dominant voice, we can cause harm to ourselves and to others. Action methods facilitate the separation between parts and the Wise Self (Self energy) so we can develop a strong relationship between our own nature and self which encourages clarity, compassion and the freedom to have a wider range of choices in our lives.
Goal: Participants will develop skills to increase the effectiveness of both IFS and psychodrama with individuals and groups through combining tools to embody and enact our parts revealing new understanding of the relationships between parts and self as well as how our parts interact with parts in others.
