Psychodrama 101: Learn the Basics to Rock Your Role Play
Friday, Sept. 10, 2021 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Psychodrama celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, bringing us to look at the special gifts of this amazing action method as well as its applications to psychotherapy, education, coaching, addictions counseling and other disciplines. Yet, have you ever tried “role play” in your psychotherapy room, coaching space, addiction treatment center or support group – and have it fall flat? This is what happens when we’ve not studied the role theory of Dr. J.L. Moreno or learned steps that contribute to readiness for taking and playing roles. In this three-hour online training, presented by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Linda Ciotola, M.Ed., TEP, you will learn the role play theory and how to manage and direct the evolution of an action structure. Three CE, psychodrama and Act 48 hours. Info and registration here. |

Tapping for Psychodrama
Date TBA 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Learn how to add tapping – also known as Clinical EFT – to acupressure points to your role play and psychodramatic interventions to increase spontaneity and obtain an even more effective impact for your protagonists and auxiliaries. We will explore a brief history and theory of tapping and practice using tapping with “talk and tap," to accompany the classic psychodramatic techniques of doubling, mirroring, soliloquy, and role reversal. Some knowledge of these psychodramatic techniques will be helpful, but not necessary, for this three-hour online training, taught by Mary Kalbach, who holds a certificate in clinical EFT, and Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP. Three CE, psychodrama and Act 48 hours. Info and registration to come. |
