Psychodrama Training Cohort 2024

Our Training Cohort offers intensive psychodrama training experience for professionals and students in the fields of mental health, substance abuse and recovery, creative arts therapies, religion, law, human services, personnel management, nursing and medicine, group facilitation, and education. These year-long formats create communities of learners committed to personal and professional growth. They provide safe places in which to develop spontaneity as a director, auxiliary, protagonist, and group member.

Each year in our Training Cohort special topics such as the use of psychodrama in individual therapy, action methods with children and adolescents, working with anger and fear, spontaneity training, working with resistance, sociodrama, the use of the body and working with trauma may be offered. There will be many opportunities for student directing.
