Praxis: Using psychodrama methodology to respond to the existential threat of climate change (PDF, 109.5 KB) |
Journal 32 December 2023 |
climate change, creativity, environment, modelling, Moreno, Psychodrama, research, sociodrama, systems theory |
What follows is the backdrop of climate change that affects all life on planet Earth. As a sociodramatist, at times, I work directly with this existential threat. I have found that research is needed to be able to direct a sociodrama on a general topic of ‘What matters today?’ or more directly on ‘Responding to climate change with hope and agency’. The content presented here is correct in 2023. As you’d expect the science refines each year. |

The utility of the sociodramatic approach in the training of a group of middle managers is demonstrated.

Book Review: Psychodrama Second Volume: Foundations of Psychotherapy (PDF, 191.8 KB) |
Journal 21 December 2012 |
book review |
I commend Psychodrama Second Volume: Foundations of Psychotherapy to all those who work to assist folks to free themselves from the shackles of the past, to expand possibilities in living and to research the social condition. I imagine benefit to those who enjoy the exploration of ideas and the different solutions that early psychotherapists developed to common dilemmas of individual and group psychotherapy, the forms, theories, techniques and philosophies. This book may evoke in you a warm up to your own review of psychotherapeutic ideas and to your experience as a clinician and trainee. |

Working with Indigenous Community Leaders in Cape York (PDF, 68.2 KB) |
Journal 16 December 2007 |
|
Both Diz and Peter are on staff at the Queensland Training Institute of Psychodrama, which along with their successful organisation consulting business is now a part of the Moreno Collegium for Human Centred Learning, Research and Development. Over the past 4 years we have been running an 8 day Cape York Strategic Leaders Program in far North Queensland. The purpose is to work with leaders from remote indigenous communities in Cape York and so liberate their capacities to use their wisdom, experience and knowledge in an active and potent manner. We actively: apply the principle of spontaneity (Spontaneity rules!); reduce isolation between participants by building relationships; enlarge individual functioning and create and enjoyable learning- rich environments. is still in operation. So it is a complicated matter to have people from different communities. While there are clear connections and a pride in their differences, these differences are quite substantial. |
