What is Sociometry?  

Sociometry is a quantitative method for measuring social relationships. Developed by Jacob L. Moreno, it involves analyzing the patterns and structures of social interactions within a group. Sociometry aims to uncover the underlying social connections, such as friendships, alliances, and conflicts, by mapping out the preferences and choices individuals make regarding their relationships with others. This approach is often used in psychology, sociology, and organizational studies to improve group dynamics, enhance communication, and resolve conflicts. 

In this module, a variety of sociometric techniques are demonstrated to help facilitators create and adapt their own sociometric exercises for the specific groups they work with. The module explores the Doubling, Mirror, and Role Reversal Phases, showcasing how these developmental stages can be applied to deepen group connections and resolve conflicts in various settings, including group therapy, schools, families, and professional environments. Through practical demonstrations, viewers will see how to assess group dynamics, warm up participants, and facilitate sociometric exercises that enhance engagement and insight. The module concludes with closure techniques, ensuring that participants leave feeling grounded, connected, and ready to integrate their experiences.

Join an exciting transformative journey with 9 professionals—therapists, counselors, and coaches—from the US, Netherlands, Spain, Nepal, Latvia, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Guided by instructor Jacomien Ilbrink-de Visser, CP, PAT (TEP in training).
