Doubling and role reversal are at the heart of psychodrama and central to J. L. Moreno’s developmental theory. Together, they give voice to unspoken thoughts and feelings, expand perspective, and unlock the kind of insight that only comes from stepping into another’s shoes.

In this highly experiential training, you’ll see these methods in action through live demonstration, then practice them yourself in a supportive learning environment. You’ll experience what it feels like to receive a double, to step into another role, and to facilitate these techniques for others. Along the way, you’ll also learn how sociometry and group psychotherapy principles support these interventions, making them safe, effective, and immediately usable in your work.
