Depicting the Power of Relationships with the Social Atom
Tuesday, February 9 @ 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Zoom Workshop | Cost: $95; $75 students; (write to us if cost is a barrier)
Presented by Dr. Scott Giacomucci, DSW, LCSW, BCD, FAAETS, PAT
Relationships are one of the most important aspects of anyone’s life. Relationships have the power to promote safety, healing, and happiness – as well as trauma, neglect, and hopelessness. Jacob Moreno’s theory of interpersonal relations is articulated through the social atom. The social atom, is a relational map which depicts an individual within the web of their closest relationships – “an individual is tied to his social atom as closely as to his body”. The importance of relationships, a social work core value, is further established through interpersonal neurobiology research. This workshop will present the social atom, a foundational sociometry/psychodrama tool. The social atom will be offered as a person-in-environment assessment as well as a warm-up process for psychodramatic action.
Note: this event will include powerpoint, theory, self-reflection, sociometry, and a psychodrama process
Learning Objectives:
- Define the Social Atom
- Describe one way the social atom relates to social work
- Explain one use of the social atom in clinical work
