Experiential Supervision Group: Inaugural session, Sunday, 13 December 2015

EXPERIENTIAL SUPERVISION

When working with clients we all have those moments of “What do I do?” or “What just happened?” Sometimes we process these moments, other times we don’t know how to, or even feel uncomfortable to….

Experiential group supervision provides an environment in which, as psychologist peers you will be able to evaluate your clients, the therapeutic relationship and your skills. This supervision model will also show you a new and different way of understanding the relationships you have with clients through the use of Role Theory, Sociometry, Psychodrama enactments & conscious awareness of “Tele”.

The workshop can be used as ‘peer supervision points’ for CPD. The supervision group will be led by registered psychologists who are experienced in the psychodrama method.

Psychodrama and Music Workshop: Playing it Out

T

Playing it Out

Saturday, 14 November from 10 am – 5.30 p.m

Leaders: Cath Russell and Jillian Hiscock

Humans express themselves through speech, through body language and facial expressions.  Sound often articulates unspoken experiences in surprising and beautiful ways.   It is one of our earliest modes of experiencing life, even before we were born.

In this unique workshop we will improvise with drums, percussion and xylophones to explore themes brought to the group.  The workshop will also be an opportunity to explore and express through the psychodramatic process any issues, images or resonancesthat may have arisen through our improvisations.

This workshop is the final training workshop for 2015.  For anyone who would like to increase their ability to be spontaneous and creative, to add to their training hours or have some extra psychodrama experience, this is THE workshop for you. 

Fee: $120.00 (applications by email or telephone due by Friday, 6 November.)

Enquiries: pim@netspace.net.au or directly to Cath on 9755 3013 or Ted on 0410 536 791

MPS Christmas Picnic 2015

Reading Group, The Use of Psychodrama in Individual Psychotherapy, Friday, 30 October.

Moderator: Sue Daniel

“The primary locus of psychodrama practice is the group, but the concept of psychodrama begins with the individual – within his or her world of experience.  The psychodramatist respects this fact by ‘accepting the patient with all his subjectivity’. (Z. T. Moreno, 1966, p.237). ”

The penultimate meeting for the PIM READING GROUP for 2015 is Friday, 30 October at 1/10-12 Adolph St, Cremorne, Victoria from 12.45 to 1.45 p.m.   I am the moderator for this meeting and the article that I have chosen is Marsha Stein and Monica Callahan’s, "The Use of Psychodrama in Individual Psychotherapy". To continue… 

“In a broader sense, each of us is a living example pf psychodrama, for the literal meaning of the Greek words from which the term is derived is ‘the soul in action’.  In our minds we continually review conversations, rehearse interactions, imagine future events, play out our conflicts, and, through it all, talk to ourselves.”

Lunchtime Reading Group

Last Friday of the month from 12.45 to 1.45 p.m

This group is designed to suit those with an hour to spare at lunchtime. Budding writers, trainees and practitioners are welcome! We will discuss psychodrama works; DVD’s and literature and other related material. A moderator who will send the material, or give it out at the previous meeting for reading or viewing, will lead the discussion.

Dates: 27 Feb, 27 Mar, (no April), 29 May, 26 Jun, 31 Jul, 28 Aug, 25 Sep, 30 Oct. & 27 Nov.

Theatre of Spontaneity, Sunday 25 October - "Magic Moments" with Danielle Forer

Life is full of magic moments – the birth of a new child, the first encounter between a couple when the spark of romance ignites, a moment of inspiration and creativity, the moment when someone finds extra strength to achieve the impossible, an experience of healing; or it may be the actual act of magic and theatre that is spellbinding and captivating, it’s a special moment between friends, it’s an amazing sunset. Psychodrama as a method itself is full of magic.

What comes to your mind when you consider the theme of magic moments? What magic tricks do you have up your sleeves or have you called on or experienced in life?

Come along to our next Theatre of Spontaneity to explore the theme of Magic Moments.

Share stories and help us create a magical night of our own.
