Announcements For Recently Certified Psychodramatists

[ABE Psychodrama]

Dear All,

 

This is to clarify the announcements
of recently certified psychodramatists. 
The Board does not publish a list of recently certified
psychodramatists.  If names appear
in the ASGPP newsletter or on grouptalk it is because someone other than the
Board provided those names.  

 

For further information
you can read our “Confidentially Policy” under the subject The Written Examinations
at our website (www.psychodramacertification.org).

 

While the Board can
publish such a list, we have not. 
The issue of publicly announcing all the names of recently certified
psychodramatists is complicated. 
There is one deadline for sending out letters of the results on the
written examination (and that deadline changes each year).  However, persons schedule their
on-sites at various time of the year. 
For example one person who passed the TEP written examination last year
still has not scheduled an on-site examination.  Please leave them alone and allow them to complete the
process when they are ready.  

 

Furthermore, some folks
may fail a written examination and some folks may fail an on-site
examination.  In the past it has
been very embarrassing to them for folks to say, with good intention, “Hey how
come you have not announced that you were certified?” 

 

I have attended meetings
of the ASGPP when all new TEPs and CPs are asked to stand, and a person or two
has stood up in that large meeting and yet at that time they were not
certified.  I have not said
anything because I can understand how “humiliating” it would be not to stand in
front of all your peers.

 

The Board Newsletter does
offer all new CPs and TEPs an opportunity to include a bio and photo in our
newsletter.  About one third of all
recently certified folks actually do this and two-thirds do not.  

 

In conclusion, I would
continue to encourage all those who have passed to tell their peers and the
community so we can celebrate their magnificent accomplishment.  I would also encourage all of you who
are close colleagues and friends to contact folks directly and inquire about
their certification.   For the
rest of us, I would ask that we be patient and let folks share the good news
when, and if, they want to share good news with us.
