Therapeutic Spiral Model (TSM) psychodrama is an innovative three
stage system of clinically modified psychodrama to treat trauma
safely and effectively. This book presents the theoretical
evolution of the Therapeutic Spiral Model from a Western model of
early trauma-informed therapy to the worldwide system of
experiential change that it is today. This book demonstrates the
anchor of classical psychodrama theory and methods modified by
clinical observations and awareness of current theories about
trauma and how it effects the brain, See the evolution from 1992 to
its present structures. It provides an accessible practice manual
of using TSM psychodrama to promote trauma recovery in many
cultures, countries, languages and settings. It presents a unique
clinical map for intra-psychic experiential trauma therapy
connecting classical psychodrama to TSM psychodrama. It
demonstrates psychological concepts like projective identification
and information from neurobiology for trauma repair in individual
and group settings with action methods. The book shows
easy-to-understand visual images such as trauma bubbles,
therapeutic spirals and the autonomous healing center to help
communicate internal states of spontaneity. The authors draw on
their own rich experiences teaching TSM psychodrama in the global
community and share stories of people's recovery around the world.
The audience for this publication includes trainers, practitioners,
psychotherapists, trauma workers, and researchers working in a
broad array of disciplines and human services.
In a world where natural, social and political disasters are a
daily reality, the therapist is increasingly called upon to find
rapid and effective methods of treating the survivors of trauma,
including sexual abuse, torture, war-related trauma, addiction,
depression and bereavement. The contributors to this book provide
persuasive evidence of how psychodrama can safely be used to create
paths of change for even the most severe traumatization and they
also discuss the possible transmission of trauma patterns across
generations. Research following World War II, neurobiological
studies and other recent research into PTSD has shown that many
trauma symptoms are unconscious, non-verbal, right-brained
experiences which cannot be accessed through talk therapy.
Psychodrama creates a place to act out unprocessed trauma within
the containment of therapy, in order to stop the obsessive
repetition of the past. Psychodrama with Trauma Survivors documents
the impact of trauma and explores the development of treatment,
providing integrated models of experiential treatment for
clinicians to use. It is an invaluable resource for those
interested in psychodrama and those working with trauma survivors.
The Therapeutic Spiral Model (TSM) was developed as a clinical
method of addressing deep issues of trauma, notably post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) relating to physical and emotional abuse and
addiction. A modified form of classical psychodrama and
experiential psychotherapy, it is today used with survivors of many
different forms of trauma in over twenty countries worldwide. This
book provides a succinct and accessible introduction to the
Therapeutic Spiral Model in practice and its evolution, explaining
how it works, its relationship with classical psychodrama,
neurobiology, experiential psychotherapy and clinical psychology,
and how it differs from other experiential therapeutic methods. For
the first time, it describes the ways in which the TSM model has
been used with diverse populations, and in different languages and
cultures, in chapters contributed by experienced practitioners from
the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Taiwan. The
original clinical applications of the TSM model are described, and
detailed examples are given of its more recent applications,
including its use with mothers affected by domestic violence, in
work with traumatised families, with survivors of ethnic conflict
and with men who are incarcerated. Providing research-based theory
and immediate, hands-on models of treatment for clinicians to use,
this is a valuable resource for drama therapists, expressive arts
therapists, counselors, community workers, peace builders and other
psychology, social work and counselling professionals working with
survivors of trauma.
