About the Workshop:
This psychodrama directing practice is designed for psychodrama students, practitioners, and trainers-in-training to enhance their directing through a trauma-informed lens. Participants will have the opportunity to facilitate a group psychodrama and receive feedback from their peers and the trainer. Feedback will be provided based on the psychodrama certification competencies outlined by the ABE, as well as trauma-informed psychodrama considerations. Each participant will also have the opportunity to be the protagonist and play auxiliary roles to learn psychodrama from the inside out.
Psychodrama facilitation competencies emphasized will include a demonstrated understanding of group phases, the warming-up process, spontaneity-creativity theory, role theory, protagonist selection, contracting, scene setting, concretization, doubling, the mirror position, role reversal, soliloquy, directing auxiliaries and the audience, facilitating catharsis safely, facilitating closure/integration, containment, strength-based roles, trauma-informed principles in psychodrama, attending to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in psychodrama, sub-roles of the director, and facilitating the sharing phase of a psychodrama session.
While this is a training workshop, and training will be held as the priority, there will be a multitude of secondary opportunities for personal growth. This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced psychodrama students and would not be the best for someone with no prior psychodrama training. Participants are expected to have past experiential/psychodrama experience as a prerequisite for this workshop, as well as a foundational understanding of psychodrama’s methodology. This workshop will be attractive for anyone seeking to enhance their psychodrama facilitation skills – and especially for professionals with some psychodrama experience seeking to put their learning into action more fully. Professionals warming up to complete their CP/TEP onsite exams will also find this workshop helpful as the trainer will provide feedback using the same competencies outlined for the CP/TEP onsite exams.
Learning Objectives:
-Explain at least two psychodrama interventions
-Identify the three phases of a psychodrama group
-Describe at least two trauma-informed considerations for psychodrama directing

*Please note that this workshop will include both didactic and experiential learning components. The experiential learning structures include demonstrations of psychodrama and other experiential processes which often include (optional) personal disclosures from participants. While personal growth is often a byproduct of experiential learning in psychodrama, the primary purpose of this workshop is training. If you are seeking a workshop for personal growth or seeking a professional training event that is entirely didactic (lecture/PowerPoint), this is probably not the best workshop for you.
