Psychodrama Training Program for 2015 - Foundation & Developing Practice Action Training Centre, Perth Campus
Course Outline
Psychodrama is a general term that includes the philosophy, theory, and methods developed by Dr JL Moreno (1889-1974) and since then by the Australian, Aotearoa and New Zealand Psychodrama Association Inc (AANZPA).
Training in psychodrama which is also referred to as action methods, is conducted in groups in which participants learn the art of group-work leadership. Training supports the development of more satisfying relationships in both personal and professional life.
Trainees participate in a multi-level, co-creative experiential learning process. Its pillars are spontaneity and creativity. Multi-level refers to the wide range of prior educational and life experiences each individual brings to the training group. The co-creative aspect refers to a rich mutual-learning we gain from others throughout the course. Integration of the theory and practice of the psychodramatic method occurs as training progresses.
This collaborative way of learning enables us to function more freely and promotes a greater sense of social connectedness and self-worth. Collaboration increases our ability to reach more of our unique potential as we progress through life with its ongoing challenges. This brings more vitality to our inter-personal world, particularly in relation to those with whom we live, work and play.
Who is the Course for?
This personal and professional development training course is for people who work with others as counsellors, coaches, organisational consultants, team leaders, community service providers, managers, teachers, health professionals, or who are working with individuals and groups in any field. It offers a comprehensive foundation and opportunity to develop skills and abilities that facilitate on-going progressive functioning in everyday life and work situations. We welcome interested new comers and regulars who wish to register for the specified workshops in the calendar of events.

Action Learning Centre, Perth Campus of Psychodrama Australia
A one-day orientation workshop introducing new trainees to our 2015 Professional Training & Development Program.
We live and work in a world of systems – family, work, community and organisations. What we see and what sense we make of events and relationships, influences our capacity to respond creatively and how we are impacted. You are invited to explore through action methods, the systems in which you work and live, to assist you to keep your life and creativity.
In this workshop you have the opportunity to identify and explore moments when you felt alive; and, what stops you from being alive to your own and to others’ responses at other times.
The purpose of this workshop is to warm up to the Creative Process, the pillars of which are spontaneity and creativity. Participants will have the opportunity to make their own artistic masterpieces that will provide the central focus for the day’s work.
This workshop will provide opportunities to experience how and why psychodrama – action methods & theory – assists people to awaken and strengthen their ability to live more creatively. It is on Saturday 12th July 2014, and runs 10:00am - 4:00pm with registration from 9:45am.
We live and work in a world of systems – family, work, community and organisations. You are invited to explore the systems in which we work and live through action methods to become co-creators that can open up new perspectives, uncover hidden dynamics and shine a light on the influencing forces. This workshop will be beneficial to change agents, organisational developers, trainers, consultants, researchers, family therapists, community workers and customer service officers.
In this workshop you have an opportunity to meet - and to get to know - your creative spirit.
This workshop presents an opportunity for us to meet with others to explore various old and outmoded myths and legends which hold us back in our growth and development as healthy, competent and creative individuals. At significant times of change in our lives we are often restricted by old ways of doing things that no longer serve us well.
In the workplace and in life we are often required to deal with things that seem difficult to handle. These can be inner journeys or journeys in the world. Sometimes we respond with concern and sometimes with creativity and courage.
