Target Audience:
Psychodrama Therapists and trainees. Conference participation is equal to 30 supervision hours.
With this Conference you get The Unique experience of being with other Psychodramatist trainers and trainees from different countries and cultures that wish to learn and explore methods and ideas of How to practice psychodrama.
The "CCTDP association" annual conference is designed to address the issues a psychodramatist is facing in his work. With the twin principles of Spontaneity and Creativity in mind, this conference aims to explore our Psychodrama Experience while building our person to person, Group to Group and Culture to culture – Relationships.
About CCTDP In 2002 Oded Nave, director of Kivunim Institute and the School of Analytic Psychodrama initiated international meeting of psychodrama students, trainees and teachers – with the idea to emphasize experience, learning and supervision. Oded Approached Dr. Vladimir Milosevic of Serbia to further the concept. The first two seminars took place in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2002 and 2003. The third seminar in 2004 was in Zagreb, Croatia. The seminar in Croatia gave the back wind to the formation of Croatia Psychodrama Association. In 2005 the seminar took place in Henley, small charming town near London, England. In 2006 the seminar took place in Ohrid, western Macedonia. The sixth seminar will be held in Massada, Israel near the Dead Sea – the salt lake which is the lowest place on earth.
From the beginning, a group of dedicated Trainers joined the staff among them – Oded Nave, Dr. Vladimir Milosevic, Dr. Zoran Ilic, Dr, Jasna Valikovic of Serbia; Susie Taylor and Peter Haworth of England and Dr. Zvonko Dzokic of Macedonia alongside a group of students and trainees.
Who are we? A group of trainers and students of psychodrama, who are committed to excellence of training and developing a psychodrama tradition of supervision, who are interested in the inquiry of differences of the practices of psychodrama. Studying and researching how psychodrama is influenced by the culture in which it is learned and practiced and create a spirit of exchanging ideas and thoughts.
We have debated how to call our activity. It is not a conference as it has not various workshops as traditionally done in conferences. We fluctuated between the title 'workshop' and 'seminar' during the years. The Differences in describing our work also reflects a cross cultural dilemma. The Local Organizing Committee in Israel preferred the term 'seminar' as we felt 'workshop' refers to a more intimate gathering. A Seminar touches upon the contents of the learning and supervision which characterizes our work in the small and large groups. The process is always central in our seminars and the cultural differences suggest the emphasis of different aspects.
How do we operate? CCTDP is an organization without boundaries, official frames or written rules. We do not have committees nor are we an NPO. We have no meetings in between our seminars or a general assembly, membership fees, chair or secretariat. We are an organization who creates our spinal cord on basis of mutuality, respect, tradition, trust and friendship. The basic structure and outline of the scientific program is almost identical from year to year and thus maintains continuity. In every host country there is a Local Organizing Committee (LOC), who is in charge of the organization of the program, finding a suitable location and directing the seminar which hosts every year between 60-80 participants. One of our main principals is to have the seminar in a rather inexpensive and simple location to enable all the students and trainees to come. The students and trainees come first in our considerations as this event is designed to meet their professional needs.
