Foundations and Developing Practice Group
The purpose of the Foundations and Developing Practice Training Group is to provide new trainees with an introduction and overview of the entire content of the method – psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, role training, and group work; and to deepen and extend the theory and practice being learned by returning trainees. The training is experiential meaning that participants learn through being a protagonist, taking up auxiliary roles, directing, and through being active group members. The process is designed to bring about an integration of theory and practice in each trainee.
