A sociodramatist in the health system (PDF, 201.5 KB) |
Journal 34 December 2025 |
social system, systems |
For more than 15 years I was employed in a large organisation in the public health system as a workforce development consultant. The job was a sociodramatist’s heaven. It was a unique position that gave me ready access to people and information in every area of the organisation from the cleaner to the CEO. With that came a freedom and influence. I could say and do things that were often too risky for others to say and do. I could make the covert overt. |

I wanted a fresh approach. My public sociodrama sessions of the last three years tended to attract low numbers Flicking through The Impromptu Man I came across the cartoon by John Wilcock where Moreno is directing Woody Allen on stage. I was enamoured, a fizziness in my body at the thought of an audience exposed to the method and being enthralled by their experience. That was when the seed was planted. I could run such a session. I could attract more participants. I too could have an audience enthralled by their experience of the method. |

Journal 30 December 2021 |

This article focuses on the value of sociodrama in the training of psychodramatic couple therapists. The author describes the way in which a sociodramatic approach is employed to bring to life a ‘sociodramatic couple’, who later become the focus of training sessions in which the trainer and trainees explore the effectiveness of various interventions in couple therapy practice. Drawing on the illustrative material, the author reflects on the value of sociodrama in the development of the trainees, at both conscious and unconscious levels, and raises the possibility of applying a sociodramatic approach to training in related fields, such as individual therapy, family therapy and organisational development. |
