There is a growing awareness that the body, as well as the mind, needs
to be involved in therapy. Neuroscience and attachment theories have
clearly demonstrated that emotion is a physiological as well as a mental
phenomenon. Dr. Dayton's approach to experiential work has been in the
forefront of what is now so commonly in use in treatment centers that it
has become mainstream.
Used in treating relational trauma and PTSD, neuropsychodrama is
designed to be easily incorporated into existing programs regardless of
length of stay and can be used in outpatient settings, group, and
one-to-one practices. Additionally, she has created a model of treatment
called relational trauma repair, RTR, which is a multisensory model used
in the treatment of relational trauma issues.
Neuro-Psychodrama in the Treatment of Relational Trauma provides
education woven into a healing, interactive experience. It will
mobilize, engage, bond, and motivate groups through a process that is
interactional and relational and progressively imparts skills of
emotional literacy and emotional regulation.
