Here’s What People Are Saying about Sociometry Blitz

“This was a very well thought-out and comprehensive training. Dr. Archer condensed very difficult material into understandable language and had a balance between didactic and action method. I would highly recommend this training to those who are interested in learning about the underlying factors affecting groups and how to intervene.” — Pat Ashbrook, Ph.D., Flagstaff

“Thanks Dr. Marlo! You provided an english translation of the foreign and complex language of sociometry. The clarity with which you teach is refreshing and has allowed me to integrate and clinically apply the concepts and procedures of sociometry. You are a master at naming and facilitating group process, again, consistently providing us with examples and ideas of how to apply what we were learning into our clinical practice. I highly recommend this workshop and ANY workshop facilitated by you- you make learning difficult material fun and provide the safety and trust in you and the group that makes it all worthwhile.” — Adena Bank Lees, LCSW, LISAC, BCETS, Tucson

“Dr. Archer made sociometry come to life ‘in the moment’ in a way that was understandable and applicable to my personal growth as well as professional effectiveness. Her presence and attunement to the group process allowed those gathered in the workshop to experience the impact of the sociometric process.” — Grayce Gusmano, MMFT, LPC; Scottsdale

This 29-hour specialty workshop provides the opportunity for 8 beginning psychodrama directors to do as much or as little of the following as they feel comfortable: direct a full psychodrama session, including warm-up, action, and sharing, and get feedback from the trainers as well as from their peer participants. If you do not care to direct, a trainer can direct for you, or you can tag-team direct with the support of the trainer. Additionally, each participant will get to serve as protagonist in one of these peer-directed dramas.

You must be a licensed mental health professional and have attended at least one previous API workshop OR  have a minimum of 20 hours of psychodrama training to register for this workshop.. Each attendee is to attend each session unless arranged in advance to miss.
