ABSTRACT

Psychodrama has a long history of working with addictions and the impact of addictions across generations. The contributions of Schützenberger, Dayton, Goldman and Morrison, and Zerka Moreno are acknowledged. Drawing on the core techniques of concretisation and working with role, this chapter focuses on two particular action techniques that have been developed for working on the theme of addictions within the one-to-one frame: the addictions compass and the intergenerational action genogram. Each technique is described step by step in detail and illustrated visually.
