Integrated Socratic-Psychodrama Group Therapy for Cognitive and Emotional Restructuring: A Multimodal Approach to Trauma, Decision-Making, and Psychological Resilience

Gulay Gumus

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to integrate the methods of Socratic questioning, psychodrama, andgroup therapy to facilitate individuals’ restructuring of past traumas, transformation of negativethought patterns, and acceleration of healing processes. Supported by hybrid (online and face-toface) sessions, cognitive journals, and social-cognitive interaction, this model holisticallyaddresses both cognitive awareness and emotional experience. The proposed approach isexpected to contribute not only to social learning and empathy emerging from group dynamicsbut also to individual processes of self-awareness. The findings of this study hold the potential tointroduce an original and innovative therapeutic model in the field of clinical psychology.
