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.
