Abstract

This paper explores how Psychodrama and Sociodrama exercises with
women victims of human trafficking, is fundamental for the recovery process
allowing to build relational networks. According to Moreno (1953) each person
lives in a Social Atom, that it is the smallest social unit. The social atom is
composed by all the people (real of fantasized) that are essential for one’s person
life. Based on this concept, Sociodrama techniques are used to work in groups with
traumatized and isolated people. Several other psychodrama techniques have
proven their positive therapeutic effect in the work with trafficked women.
