This 29-hour specialty workshop provides the opportunity for 8 beginning psychodrama directors to do as much or as little of the following as they feel comfortable: direct a full psychodrama session, including warm-up, action, and sharing, and get feedback from the trainers as well as from their peer participants. If you do not care to direct, a trainer can direct for you, or you can tag-team direct with the support of the trainer. Additionally, each participant will get to serve as protagonist in one of these peer-directed dramas.
You must be a licensed mental health professional and have attended at least one previous API workshop OR have a minimum of 20 hours of psychodrama training to register for this workshop.. Each attendee is to attend each session unless arranged in advance to miss.

Feedback about one of Deb’s former workshops:
“The workshops are well thought out and the modeling by the instructors is terrific. The instructors were honest, open and wonderfully real. Training is hands on and help is always nearby when needed. Mistakes are considered and treated as learning opportunities. Marlo and Debbie were ‘in the moment’ and highly respectful of the trainees while they directed and did their own work. I loved it and give it my highest recommendation!” – Alan A., Phoenix.
