With Kate Hudgins & Sylvia Israel

Spontaneity and Creativity are the curative agents of change when using psychodramatic methods and the Therapeutic Spiral Model (TSM) to treat trauma (Hudgins & Toscani, 2013).  Yet different interventions are therapeutically indicated with different clients and symptoms. This workshop provides an opportunity to improve your clinical action skills with people who have different diagnoses and problems of living.  

Together we will review and bring to life DSM-V diagnoses of mood, personality, dissociation, and addictive and eating disorders.  Using action demonstrations and role play, participants learn to apply psychodramatic methods such as role reversal, doubling, mirroring, concretization, etc. to increase access to spontaneity and creativity, with a wide range of clients. Participants will take the roles of director, client and auxiliary, experiencing their own healing, both personally and professionally, along the way. This workshop is appropriate for all therapists and students and practitioners of psychodrama.
