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. 


Double Phase helps individuals understand their social connections and identify shared experiences, fostering deeper group cohesion. Mirror Phase allows participants to see themselves from others' perspectives, promoting self-awareness and empathy. By integrating these concepts into their practice, professionals can facilitate more impactful interventions and support personal growth within groups. 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).
