A SOCIOMETRIC EXPLORATION AND PSYCHODRAMATIC HONORING OF PERSONAL IMMIGRATION HISTORY

Scott Giacomucci, LCSW, CTTS, CET III, CP/PAT, and  Maria Jose Sotomayor-Giacomucci

This workshop will introduce J.L. Moreno’s immigration story. We will
acknowledge the experience of migration as a personal trauma/loss and focus on generational strengths and resilience. Through sociometry, participants will uncover shared experiences, identities, and values with a focus on personal family immigration stories. Finally, a brief psychodrama process will take place, oriented around honoring a family member, mentor, community leader, and/or ancestor who played a supportive role in that individual’s development or family immigration story.

Learning Objectives.
After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Explain J.L. Moreno’s own history of immigration as it relates to the
development of sociometry, psychodrama, and group psychotherapy;
2. Recognize applications of sociometry to explore the personal
immigration history within a group.
