9th IAGP Pacific Rim Regional Congress & 2nd Chinese Group Counselling and Group Psychotherapy CAMH Conference, March 2014

Beijing, China

This ninth Pacific Rim Regional Congress was held in Beijing, 20 - 22 March 2014 with guest presenters from around the globe.  Moreno Psychodrama Society members, Julia Lau, Personal Responsibility", Sue Daniel, "Day-by-Day: Role Theory, Sociometry and Psychodrama with Adolescents" and Jun Maeda (Japan), "The Constitutive Psychodrama by Clark Baim for Loss and Grief Trauma" all presented during the conference in sessions of three hours.   Sue also conducted a two-day post-conference workshop on the 23rd and 24th of March entitled "The Language of Action" in which 23 participants learnt about role theory, the twin canons of creativity/spontaneity, psychodrama techniques, dealing with grief and abuse and group dynamics.

We look forward to welcoming several of our Chinese colleagues at our Autumn School of Psychodrama, 2, 3, 4 May 2014 as well as Jun Maeda who is completing his Psychodrama training with the Psychodrama Institute of Melbourne.

Meanwhile in Korea, a new book on psychotherapy (in Chinese), has been completed by my colleague on the Board of the IAGP, Hsien-Hsien Chiang She kindly gave me her copy for our library and I welcome its position on our shelves.
