Our Mission

The practice of psychodrama across the globe is rich, diverse, and often unique to each country and practitioner. Our belief is that sharing this collective wisdom through the simplicity and magic of the online space will enrich the entire psychodrama community. We are creating an online space so we can learn from the elders in our field how psychodrama is practiced in different parts of the world. Our hope is that in joining us on this psychodramatic journey around the world, you will discover new psychodramatic cultures and traditions that you had never encountered before, and that you will be able to bring some of it back to your home country, in your own work.

How do we work?

Each month you are invited to travel with PAW to a different part of the world where a resident psychodramatist will share their work and philosophy. The coming year brings offerings from John Nolte, Kate Hudgins, Rebecca Walters and Edward Schreiber in North America, Dalmiro Bustos, Rosa Cukier, Monica Zurretti, Debora Moghilevsky de Penna, and Fernán Rodriguez Cetrán in South America, Manuela Maciel, Maurizio Gasseau and Zoli Figusch in Europe. We hope that in the following years, we will have the honour of hosting psychodramatists from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania.

Psychodrama around the world is both a space of learning and a space of psychotherapy. One of the goals of this adventure is for psychodramatists attending the workshops to be able to travel around the world and meet for a few hours with our most senior psychodramatists. These meetings are kept small (maximum 40 participants), so that the privacy enables us to get close to them, ask questions, and understand how they think as psychodramatists. We ask all presenters to explain their thinking and process their directing, so that all of us can learn how they think. You might be a psychodramatist looking to refine your technique and learn new ways of thinking when you direct. Or you might be a psychotherapist, a psychologist, or anyone else working in mental health, wanting to support your clients with some new tools.

The second goal of our workshops is of course psychotherapeutic. Workshops are open to all, and in joining the workshops, you will have the opportunity to experience "what is psychodrama". You might feel the hunger to do a personal piece of work, and explore parts of yourself until now left aside. Or you might feel curious about what psychodrama is, and would like to experience it before joining a group in your community. Everyone is welcome, you don’t need any previous experience of psychodrama to attend the workshops.

Most but not all workshops will offer experiential psychodrama, so if you are specifically looking to experience a psychotherapeutic session and are not so interested in the nitty gritty of what happens behind the scenes - the theory - make sure you read the workshop description to choose accordingly.
