Saturdays are devoted to psychodrama training and practice. Tentative topicareas are provided in the listing to follow. Those CTG members who have participated in at least one prior CTG will be given opportunities to lead warm-up activities, and will be first to have opportunities to direct in the group.
Sunday mornings will focus on supervision. There will be opportunities to present individualclients,or groups and receive supervision in action. It may also be a time to practice new roles and techniques. You do not need to be working with clients right now to benefit from these supervision sessions. For those working on Psychodrama Certification Supervised Practice, the morning will count as one supervision session.
In April, there will be a special, Student Directors’ Intensive from Friday through Sunday for a total of 20 training hours. Specific times will be discussed to create convenience of participation for CTG members.
All CTG members are also encouraged to attend the BAMI Friday Night Taster Psychodrama Sessions, which are scheduled the same weekends as CTG sessions from through March and in May. As with the Sunday afternoon sessions, fees are discounted for CTG members.
