Psychodrama writing - series of Sunday workshops 2021
This series is designed for psychodrama trainees completing a writing task as part of their certification. These writing tasks are outlined in the AANZPA Training and Standards Manual of the Board of Examiners.
These weekends are designed for those who have an interest in this method and want to learn more and for those considering entering the core training program.
You can expect to be introduced to the four specialties of psychodrama; role training, sociodrama, sociometry and psychodrama as group psychotherapy. It is likely that you will participate in an enactment to recreate a new living moment and perhaps a new solution to life’s vicissitudes.
The Relevance of Sociometry to our Experiences in Groups.
Sociometry has at its core a vision of cohesive groups, interpersonal mutuality and a stable society. Sociometry guides us to explore the psycho-social networks and deeper or hidden structures that affect the groups in which we live and work. The feeling nature of the informal, personal and often invisible systems is an exciting yet threatening field of exploration but the integration of the formal and informal fields can be exceptionally important to the success of a stable, cohesive and productive group.
In this workshop we will explore the sociometric factors that are at play in our groups both in the immediate here-and-now group, as well as other significant groups both past and current. We will be seeking to develop our ability to be the initiators of greater mutuality in relationships and leaders of cohesive groups.

Hilde and I have reconfigured the Creativity and Life of the Imagination workshop, to now run online in real time from the evening of Friday 26th June through to Sunday 28th Jun (the weekend when we were going to be in Brisbane). More information is available at:

We are keeping numbers small, and making it open to people who have some AANZPA training, so that we can maximise the opportunity for meaningful engagement.
