Professional Development Weekend Workshop, Canberra: Structuring a Psychodrama Session. The Application in Both Individual and Group Work
November 23-25 Friday 7pm-9pm; Saturday, Sunday 9.30am – 5.30pm.
In this workshop we will consider the structure of a psychodrama session and the timely application of psychodramatic techniques.
November is often a time of integration of the year’s training and professional development and a time to be conscious of the learnings of the year so they can be carried forward into our practice as group workers and individual consultants and clinicians. It is an opportunity for all participants to direct, be an auxiliary and also a protagonist within the weekend.
The psychodrama method assists participants to increase their spontaneity and creativity through active participation. This participation includes group work, enactment and theoretical mini lectures. The program will assist in developing leadership and will lead to increasing abilities in relating to others. The training assists is developing confidence in group presentations and in the development of interpersonal and group skills.
This program is designed for professional people who are involved in health, theatre, management, leadership, consultancies, coaching, mentoring , supervision, art, writing, teaching, human potential and creative therapies. The process will assist in the deepening of abilities to step into the shoes of others and this will contribute to the effectiveness of those who are therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, health workers, managers, trainers and educators, actors, artists, writers and poets. Supervised practice for advanced psychodrama trainees is also an aspect of this program.
New participants should arrange a face to face or phone interview to connect, to determine the suitability of this course and for discussion regarding the training contract.
The course will consist of enactment, group participation and discussion. Participants are expected to be actively involved, in both days and the evening. The learning of new skills may be emotionally challenging and participants are required to have abilities to sustain their life and are participating in areas such as studies, employment and social and creative activities.
A certificate of attendance will be given on request and may be used for points towards required professional development and psychodrama certification. The training hours are recognised by Psychodrama Australia and can lead to certification as a psychodramatist, sociodramatist, role trainer or sociometrist.
