Summary

Psychodrama and Systemic Constellation Work are two experiential methods used in psychology and social work. Students learn how these methods differ and how they can be used together to address family issues.

Psychodrama and Constellation Work

Psychodrama and Systemic Constellation Work are two widely used experiential methods. They are compared by working with one client on the same issue in each modality, conducted two hours apart. The methods are used to address family issues.

The Psychodrama Session

A psychodrama session is described, where the client works with her conscious perception of her problem. The session involves role-reversal, expressing real feelings, and role-training. The client reaches breakthroughs in understanding.

The Constellation Work Session

A Systemic Constellation Work session is described, where the client's unconscious workings are probed. The session involves tapping into the roots of the issue, allowing the family soul to move the action spontaneously. The session heals individual and family pain.

Differences Between the Methods

The differences between psychodrama and Systemic Constellation Work are explored. Psychodrama involves role-playing and feeling into a characterization. Constellation work involves feeling into how a representative feels physically or emotionally.
