Synopsis

A 'how to do it' book for people who want their training to be imaginative, energetic and effective, Ron Wiener's text looks at how to run staff training groups; what to do with stuck teams; and how to utilise sociodrama as a training tool in a different light. Based on the author's long experience as a community psychologist, training consultant and sociodramatist, this practical book demonstrates how creative interventions with groups can produce the very best from training.

Review:

Well written and very largely free from insider-jargon beloved of many writers in this and related fields. Author: Adults Learning

This is an easy to read and practical handbook for people who work with groups. Author: British Journal of Psychodrama and Sociodrama

The manual will be useful to trainers working with a range of trainees in varying circumstances. Author: Studies in the Education of Adults

...succinct and to the point, well written and very largely free from the insider-jargon beloved of many writers... a useful and thought-provoking book. Author: Adults Learning

This compact book offers a clear sketch of the territory and techniques of sociodrama, and will be useful for the relatively new group facilitator who has already acquired some training in the use of sociodramatic techniques. It will also be of use to educationalists wishing to know more about the building blocks in this dynamic and fruitful method of enabling adult learning through the experience of involvement. I would like to recomment tihs book as a coherent and easy to read introduction to the field of sociodrama as applied to team building and team facilitation.
