Psychodrama is usually thought of as a group method but its applications to individual therapy and counseling are many and profound. "Talking about" what happened is very different than bringing an issue into the present and engaging the whole person in the moment. Participants in this workshop will learn and practice a variety of action techniques including:
a.. The Social Atom as a Diagnostic Tool
a.. Empty chair work
a.. Concretization and Maximization
a.. Role Playing
a.. Doubling
These psychodramatic skills enliven your therapy sessions and give you useful tools to help your clients uncover and express feelings in a safe way, heal old wounds and develop more satisfying roles in their lives.
Overnight accommodations are available. Open to students at all levels of experience. For more information on this workshop and registration instructions, click here.

Family Therapy
Trainer:
Judy Swallow, MA, LCAT, TEP
May 16, 2009
Highland, NY
Family issues are the bedrock of most therapy sessions, whether one person or the whole family shows up in your office. The Psychodramatic method allows for family members to identify stuck patterns, express thoughts and feelings in a safe manner, put their strengths and yearnings into action, and ultimately be able to role reverse with one another as they find a path to new and more satisfying choices.
Among the psychodramatic structures and techniques you will learn and practice are:
a.. Action Genogram
a.. Family Sculpting and Social Atom
a.. Facilitating Role Reversal
a.. Family Doubling
Overnight accommodations are available. Open to students at all levels of experience. For more information on this workshop and registration information, click here.

Children's Groups:
Psychodrama, Sociodrama
and Playback Theater
Trainer: Rebecca Walters, MS, LMHC, LCAT, TEP
May 22-24, 2009
Baltimore, MD
Psychodrama is a natural and powerful method for helping troubled, abused and traumatized children tell their stories, safely express strong feelings and try out new behaviors and roles. This professional training will offer participants the opportunity to learn adaptations of the psychodramatic method that work especially well with groups of children ages seven though twelve. Many of these structures can be adapted to work with individuals and families.
Participants will explore and experience structures that allow for the safe acting out of children's hopes, fears and difficulties through the use of:
a.. Fairytales
a.. Storytelling
a.. Sociodrama
a.. Personal life stories
a.. Group-created stories
Participants will practice variations of therapeutic action techniques that work with children such as:
a.. Doubling
a.. Multiple doubling
a.. Role playing
a.. Playback theater
a.. Inner and outer circle
a.. Family sculpting
a.. Role training for new behavior
The use of group ritual and structures for safety and containment will be demonstrated. Ways to address the difficulties inherent in using psychodrama with children will be discussed.
Overnight accommodations available. Open to students at all levels of experience. For more information on this workshop and for registration instructions, click here.
