CENTRAL TEXAS PSYCHODRAMA
INSTITUTE for
training and personal growth
Psychodrama is an action method
So much of "talk therapy" is done sitting on the couch. Psychodrama is a creative arts therapy approach that embraces action to deepen personal work. As some say, "We get wounded in action so we must then heal in action."
Psychodrama supports group functionality
Sociometry is the term for the "measurement of groups." Psychodrama uses sociometry to help build cohesive groups and help understand the relationships between its members.
Psychodrama embraces spiritual growth
The founder of the method, Dr. Jacob Moreno, calls it the "Godhead," and others term it the "Creative Self," which comes alive in the fundamental dramatic goals of spontaneity and creativity.
CENTRAL TEXAS PSYCHODRAMA
Practice PSYCHODRAMA, learn, Heal and Grow
Did you know that the first formal understanding and practice of group psychotherapy, was Psychodrama? It's been around since the early-mid 1900s.
While many people or groups say they "practice psychodrama," people conducting formal psychodrama sessions should have completed trainings approved by the American Board of Examiners in Psychodrama and Sociometry.
The American Board of Examiners officially certifies practitioners and trainers and educators in psychodrama after rigorous training, including a minimum 680 training hours and a written and onsite exam. While psychodrama is our primary practice, we may practice various modalities in our workshops.
Many come to psychodrama for personal growth and then come to realize how they can use the method in their professional life. Personal and professional growth are our focus and it doesn't matter which you choose first, they go hand in hand.
