Description
During this year-long programme, trainees can expect to undertake reading and writing assignments with the intention of completing initial papers or their thesis. The training group, led primarily by Vivienne Thomson and Martin Putt, will focus on the integration of the method and developing the identity of the practitioner. This will require trainees to identify specific areas noted in the Training and Standards Manual they wish to hone and to display their practice, bringing forward their applications of the method for learning and discovery through experimentation. In addition to attending the training programme, trainees are expected to have regular supervision with a trainer and to address their own personal development or therapy.

Trainers
Vivienne Thomson
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Campus Director of Training
Vivienne is a Sociodramatist and Trainer Educator Practitioner (TEP) and is the Director of Training of the PANZ Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland campus. She served on the AANZPA Executive (2003-2005) and Board of Examiners (2006-2014), including as Secretary of the Board (2009-2014) and is currently the Chair of the Ethics Committee.
After working as a primary teacher in the public system, Vivienne ran an alternative school for several years. Following her teaching career she established a training and consulting company in the 1980s which continues today. She has used her experience in psychodrama to develop innovative approaches to her work which have led to significant organisational developments in New Zealand and overseas. Results of her work have been published by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Great Britain, the New Zealand Resource Centre and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She has also developed training resources that have been used in the University of London, the Centre for Post Graduate Pharmacy Education Great Britain, and in many NZ organisations. Currently, Vivienne’s work is mostly providing supervision and mentoring to individuals enabling them to apply their talents in their particular chosen field of work.
Vivienne has a Diploma of Teaching, a B.A. majoring in Education, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Product Design Enterprise. A little known fact is that she’s a qualified International Wildwater Judge. Now she tends to have more sedate interests such as being a Board member (Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand Trust), private pianist, handbell ringer, keen gardener and cook, and grandmother.
Martin Putt
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Campus
Martin is a Psychodramatist and Trainer Educator Practitioner-in-training (TEPit) with PANZ working at the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland campus. He is the immediate Past President of AANZPA (2019-2023) serving on the AANZPA Executive from 2013 to 2024.
Martin began his working life in youth work, acting and working as a hospital play specialist with adolescents. After spending the 1990s involved with theatre, improvisation and Playback Theatre in Australia and Aotearoa he discovered psychodrama in 1998 and never looked back. On the strength of his psychodrama qualification, he became a registered psychotherapist in 2013. Following clinical work in public sector NGO’s and Te Whatu Ora’s Mason Clinic Regional Forensic Psychiatry Service, he now works in private practice in Herne Bay, Auckland seeing a wide range of clients, mostly boys and men, and supervisees. After 25 years of practice in the field, he continues to work with clients presenting with harmful sexual behaviours.
Martin has a B.A. in Political Science (Canterbury), a Post Graduate Diploma in Drama (Auckland) and two Post Graduate Certificates in Advanced Psychotherapy Practice; one in Group Psychotherapy (AUT) and one in Clinical Supervision (AUT). Martin is also a proud graduate of the John Bolton Theatre School (Melbourne, 1996)
Martin brings creativity, playfulness and a love of the psychodramatic method to his work as a trainer and psychodramatist. He is a husband and father and loves to be in the sea, in the garden, in the kitchen or in an audience and is steadied by practices on the mat and on the cushion.
