Armand Volkas, LMFT (MFC#28789), RDT/BCT.Healing the Wounds of History is a process in which psychotherapy, drama and expressive arts therapy techniques are used to work with a group of participants who share a common legacy of historical trauma. The process was developed by Armand Volkas, MFT, RDT/BCT, (MFC #28789) a psychotherapist and drama therapist from Berkeley, California. Volkas is the son of Auschwitz survivors and resistance fighters from World War II. He was moved by his personal struggle with this legacy of historical trauma to address the issues that arose from it: issues around identity, victimization and perpetration, meaning and grief. Healing the Wounds of History helps participants work through the burden of such legacies by transforming their pain into constructive action through acts of creation and acts of service. Armand is clinical director of The Living Arts Counseling Center and Associate Professor in Counseling Psychology Program at California Institute of Integral Studies.
Sylvia Israel, LMFT (MFC# 31245), TEP, RDT/BCT, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Board Certified Trainer, Educator and Practitioner of Psychodrama and Registered Drama Therapist/Board Certified Trainer, teaches at CA Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and Kansas State University. Sylvia is cofounder of Bay Area Moreno Institute and IMAGINE! Center for Creativity & Healing. She is a Certified Trainer in the Therapeutic Spiral Model of working with trauma and has taught PTSD and Action Methods at various graduate programs. Both of Sylvia’s parents survived the Holocaust in hiding and later with the Bielski Partisans. As a psychotherapist and as a daughter of survivors, she is interested in how our healing journey can include awakening our spontaneity and creativity allowing us to live fully in the present. Sylvia maintains a private practice in Marin and San Francisco.
