Psychodrama training
Psychodrama training is an exceptionally engaging training method. Each person's life is a drama, and each person acts many roles in their life. Through deep experiential learning programs to teach you the psychodramatic method, The Moreno Collegium for Human Centred Learning, Research and Development works to help you find ways to improve life for yourself, those around you, your family, your organisations, communities and world. Our programs give you the skills to work with your's and other's life dramas and dilemmas with confidence, creativity and spontaneity. The training done with The Moreno Collegium for Human Centred Learning, Research and Development takes authorship back from authorities and places it squarely where it belongs with individuals and communities working in their local contexts.
The training is experientially based, is profound and involves participants working with the psychodramatic method as both participant, observer, researcher and student."The training is taught through supervised experiential learning. The aim of this type of learning is for trainees to know the different aspects of the psychodramatic method through their experience. Every member of a training group becomes a group leader, a director of a psychodrama, a sociodrama, a role training session or a sociometric exploration, or assists by playing a role in someone else's drama and participates as a group member in group interaction.
This means that all those who participate in training sessions experience themselves in a wide range of roles. The ability to interact spontaneously and new creative solutions to problems of living are developed in sessions. The teaching is in response to what the trainee says and does in the training sessions. The purpose of the teaching is to develop a greater flexibility in functioning, a greater perceptiveness, and a wider range of functioning in the here and now situation.
Thus an integration of theory and practice occurs. Trainees see and feel development occurring. As they apply learnings in their work, in their personal lives and in activities in the training group further supervision and teaching leads to refinement of abilities and the opening up of new areas of learning. Reading, written assignments and relevant tasks are recommended." ANZPA Board of Examiners, Standards and Training Manual, 2004.
