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.”

This group is designed to suit those with an hour to spare at lunchtime. Budding writers, trainees and practitioners are welcome!

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.
