Ron Wiener (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 14, 2009 | ISBN-10: 1853024228 | ISBN-13: 978-1853024221 | Edition: 1

Looking at how to run staff training groups and at what to do with stuck teams, this "how to do it" guide is aimed at people in the health and social services who want their training to be imaginative, energetic and effective. The latest theories in staff training are examined, with a focus on how to use sociodrama as a training tool. Using jargon-free language, the author explains how, unlike psychodrama, sociodrama utilizes hypothetical events, derived from the concerns and experiences of the group, as a basis for developing a deeper understanding of social situations.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Money and Time, January 30, 2000

This review is from: Creative Training: Sociodrama and Team-building (Paperback)

I was really hoping that this book would provide new ideas, techniques, and inspiration for the use of sociodrama within work, school, and training settings. It offered very little new that has not been better covered in "Sociodrama: Who's In Your Shoes?" The writing is dry. The ideas are limited. If you weren't already experienced in using drama as a teaching and/or therapeutic tool, this book would not help you become skilled or knowledgable about it. I felt like I really wasted my money and my time.
