Psychodrama Essentials - July 7/8 2012

Psychodrama Essentials- a short course in understanding people.


Our Essentials programs are designed as an introduction to understanding people through the psychodramatic method and as a starting point to your investigation to see if learning psychodrama would add to your professional and personal life.

Jacob Moreno, the founder of psychodrama believed that a truly therapeutic procedure must address not only the individual, but all of our relationships and the whole of society. His ambitious goal was that every therapeutic session should make a significant step towards world peace.

Spontaneity is a foundation concept of the psychodrama method. It involves the ability to respond to people and situations with immediacy, vitality and thoughtfulness. It involves letting go of the old and moving into new ways of being. Spontaneity flourishes in an atmosphere of experimentation and playfulness, and enables us to bring forward our creative abilities, and to move into the unknown with courage and confidence.

Psychodrama is a very powerful technology for growth, creativity and understanding both for you and for any clients or groups you might be working with. This workshop is designed to introduce you in an enjoyable, systematic, thoughtful and experiential manner to some of the many facets of psychodrama.

If you're a professional educator, manager, HR / organisational specialist, counsellor, teacher, facilitator, psychologist, social worker, trainer, or pastoral worker, you will find that this workshop of benefit.

Psychodrama is a technology for creativity. It pumps life into tired old bones enabling them to dance and sing with the power of life. It sets up an authentic and sustainable life. By tapping into each person's natural spontaneity that lies at the core of their being, psychodrama creates options which allow people to do remarkable things.
