Healthy relationships and support are key to recovery from addictions and trauma. JL Moreno (founder of Psychodrama) created a science called “Sociometry- the quantitative study of interpersonal relationships especially that of preferences. This presentation will provide practical application of one sociometric tool, the social atom, for the clinical assessment of client support systems. Participants will practice creating their own social atom as well as facilitating the psychodramatic technique of role reversal. Role reversal creates and deepens empathy, enhances relationships and assists in healthy decision-making and boundary setting – all necessary components of developing a working recovery support system. Sociometry will also be used to facilitate a novel networking opportunity prior to the presentation.
Objectives:
Define the terms “Sociometry”, “role reversal” and “social atom.”
Utilize the social atom for clinical assessment of client support systems.
Apply the psychodramatic technique of role reversal in clinical practice.

WELCOME YOU TO THE ASGPP 75th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Conference, Navigating Waves of Change: Discovering and Celebrating our Hidden Treasures, held on the shores of beautiful Clearwater Beach. They invite you to come early, bring your family and enjoy a vacation before and after the conference! Clearwater is home to Winter, the famous dolphin from Dolphin Tale. Not too far away in Tampa is Busch Gardens, while St. Petersburg boasts the Dali Museum. And of course, there is the beach!
They plan to utilize the beautiful outdoor space for our president’s reception, the drumming circle and other activities. The Keynote and Plenary will both speak to the power of hidden treasures as we deepen our connection with one another and explore the importance of embracing our authentic selves.
While we are sad to have lost our beloved matriarch, Zerka Moreno, they have special events planned to honor her and celebrate her life.
