The open weekend workshops provide an opportunity to experience psychodrama within a safe and supportive atmosphere. Each workshop has a theme, which acts as a general focus for the psychodrama sessions. Open workshops are directed by BIP Trainers.

Who are they intended for?
These workshops are open to members of the general public over age 18. No prior experience of therapy or psychodrama is required. The workshops are also open to diploma or certificate trainees from any psychodrama school, people who are considering training in psychodrama, or professionals who have a particular interest in psychodrama or the topic of the weekend. Please note that, while these weekend workshops can be therapeutic, they are primarily intended to offer an experience of psychodrama and not as a means of providing psychotherapy.

Times:
Each weekend runs Saturday 9.30 - 18.30 hrs & Sunday 9.30 - 16.30 hrs. A weekend counts as 16 psychodrama hours. Certificates of attendance are given to evidence continuing professional development, where needed.

This weekend will include psychodramas, processing and an exploration of contemporary attachment theory. We will consider how attachment theory can inform the purposeful adaptation of psychodrama to provide maximum benefit and avoid worsening the client's problems. We will draw on the work of Dr. Patricia Crittenden, whose Dynamic-Maturational Model of attachment across the lifespan specifically incorporates the attachment strategies common among people who have experienced maltreatment and life-threatening endangerment.

Venue: Woodbridge House, Moseley, Birmingham. With Susie Taylor and Clark Baim.

This workshop will include classical psychodrama, which is, perhaps above all, a therapy of relationships.
