Foundations and Developing Practice
For new trainees: The main theories, concepts, and techniques of the psychodramatic method will be introduced, including spontaneity theory, group work, role theory, sociometry, and the various constructs of the dramatic stage. An experiential approach to learning will be used. Experience will be built up in applying these ideas in psychotherapeutic, social, organisational and life settings. Trainees will participate in group interactions and dramas as audience, protagonist, auxiliary and director. The training year includes two supervision sessions.
For trainees who are returning: You will build on the cooperative and experiential approach to learning that has been developed in the previous year's work. The integration of psychodramatic theory and practice into each trainee's professional and personal lives will be deepened and expanded.

Each of the eight training sessions includes an experiential group session, a report and reflection on each group session, and teaching a number of different approaches to group work.

Psychodrama and Group Work Annual Residential Training Retreat
The purpose of this residential training workshop is to bring about a greater knowledge of
theory and ability to practice psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, role training and general
group work. It is designed to develop each trainee’s practice in the many applications of the
psychodramatic method currently used in therapeutic, educational, organisational,
and community settings. Trainees can expect to develop their leadership functioning in
all groups and organisations.
This workshop is more suitable for people seeking training in Group Work and in applying the theory and practices of the Psychodramatic
Method. People wanting a purely personal development experience through psychodrama or group work are directed to contact the ATCP for other opportunities.
