            Dear Friends,

            As many of you have already heard, Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute is conducting one of our most popular trainings this summer... in Guatemala City, Guatemala! We would love for you to join us for Childwork / Child Play: Action Methods with Children's Groups - Psychodrama, Sociodrama & Playback Theater from August 7-9, 2009. Early registration discounts are available until July 1.

            This training is a wonderful opportunity for those of you who wish to combine psychodrama training with your summer vacation, as Guatemala is a beautiful place to travel on a budget. We are happy to provide assistance with your plans, so don't hesitate to contact us with questions. Of course, it is also close enough to the U.S. for you to fly in just for the 3-day training.

            Flights to Guatemala City are very inexpensive - We found roundtrip flights for as low as $272 from New York City, and they are even lower from other places in the U.S. Affordable accommodations are available to participants. 

            Enjoy your summer! Hope to see you in Guatemala City.

            August 7-9, 2009


            Trainer: Rebecca Walters, MS, LMHC, LCAT, TEP

            Location: Guatemala City, Guatemala

            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.

            Affordable overnight accommodations are available.
