The CITP Training Programme 2009

Psychodrama On-going Training Groups

Training in the psychodrama method will assist those in leadership roles to develop their abilities. They will be enlivened and challenged to expand their creative edge and professional competency. Through a greater awareness of their own behaviour and the development of leadership roles, a network of satisfying relationships will be developed and sustained.

Psychodrama is primarily a group method. Developing an appreciation of group dynamics is therefore fundamental in psychodrama training. Specifically trainees learn to recognise and value the sociometry which occurs in groups and work with this both as group member and leader.

Leadership and Facilitation Training (2009C)

Training in the Fundamentals of Group Work and Leadership

Many of us spend a considerable amount of our working life in groups. Meetings, skills groups, support groups, discussion groups, rap groups, casework presentations, handovers, meetings with relatives, progress meetings, communication meetings and patient review meetings.

Many of you will also be aware of reluctance or ambivalence as well as a certain amount of anxiety about groups in respect of theses meetings and groups. More than likely this is a reflection of the experiences you have in these groups - an experience in varying degrees of fragmentation, conflict, disrespect, poor communication, lack of clarity, lack of tangible outcomes and poorly developed action plans.

Yet groups do develop in a patterned manner and in ways that are recognisable and well accepted. We can make interventions that will minimise problematic functioning and offer leadership.

In this training course participants can expect to learn some of the dysfunctional activities which plague groups, some of the theories of groupwork behaviour and some specific interventions that minimise problematic group activities.

In a well-organised group any member of the group can take functional leadership at any time. Interventions that assist the work to proceed can be made thoughtfully with an understanding of the dynamics and the wider systems at work.

This training course takes place over 5 days. A certificate is given to trainees completing the course which includes written and practical assignments. The training is 'generic' and is suitable for any type of group leadership situation. It is designed to involve participants in reflecting on and using their own experience as a basis for learning.

The course will include:

  • planning sessions and courses
  • preparing for a group
  • beginning a group
  • facilitating interaction
  • responding to the process
  • closing a group

There will be a focus on:

  • group work theory
  • role theory
  • sociometry
  • communication in groups
  • leadership styles

There will be teaching and supervised practice.

There is an emphasis on developing ability in observing and understanding group behaviour, understanding and managing stages of group development and making use of the Focal Conflict Model.

This is a valuable course for anyone who works with groups of people. The principles of group dynamics will be covered and participants can expect to develop their ability to understand how groups work and how to conduct them.

Dates

5 Wednesdays: 4th March, 25th March, 29th April, 27th May, 24th June.

Times

9:00am to 5:00pm

Venue

Campbell Centre, 44 Bealey Ave. Christchurch

Sociodrama Training (2009D)

"There isn't a single area of human endeavour that could not benefit from our instrument" Zerka Moreno.

Sociodrama is a versatile method that is very applicable to many situations enabling people to expand their role repertoire, explore issues, resolve problems, and develop a deep appreciation of our humanity.

This workshop is designed for people who are either working sociodramatically with groups, or would like to, and want to develop their skills in working this way. Using situations drawn from participants, we will produce sociodramas and enactments relevant to particular situations. Participants can expect to plan and produce sociodramas relevant to their contexts when working with groups ranging from organisations to education to professional and personal development.

Dates

May 22, 23, 24.
