Open Access Weekend Workshops
These workshop weekends provide an opportunity to experience psychodrama and engage with relevant theories within a safe and supportive environment. Each weekend has a theme, which acts as a general focus for the psychodrama sessions and the accompanying reading. Open Access workshops are directed by London Centre and BPA registered Trainers.
Who are Open Access Weekends for?
Open Access Weekends are open to members of the public. No prior experience of psychodrama is required. We also welcome diploma or certificate trainees from other psychodrama training schools and professionals who have a particular interest in psychodrama or the topic for the weekend. These workshops are intended to provide an experience of psychodrama and although they are therapeutic they are not intended as a means of providing psychotherapy.
Times:
Each weekend runs Saturday 9.30 to 18.00 hours; Sunday 9.30 to 16.00 hours. A weekend counts as 16 psychodrama/ CPD hours. Certificates of attendance are provided to give evidence of continuing professional development where needed.
Venue: Maudsley Hospital London SE5 at the Cawley Centre.
Fees and accommodation:
Weekend fees are £175. Accommodation can be found locally at a reasonable rate if booked in advance.

Developing a Sense of Self (Jinnie Jefferies and Anna Chesner)
Individuals are required to withstand many challenging demands throughout their life’s journey. Such demands require a secure sense of self. This workshop will explore the development of the self in early childhood. It will be based on the theoretical works of Winnicott, Fairbairn and Guntrip and Moreno’s theories of child development.

Attachment Styles and Psychodrama (Jinnie Jefferies)
This workshop will look at the relevance of John Bowlby’s attachment theory to understand how our relationships with our parents and carers affect our adult relationships, our personal view of ourselves and of the world we live in. By understanding these patterns we can begin to break problematic repetitive cycles and help our clients with these challenges.

The True & False Self (trainer tbc)
Because of our early beginnings we may have difficulty in expressing our true self and hide behind a mask of being what we think others expect of us. This leads to a sense of emptiness and meaninglessness. In this workshop, based on theories of Winnicott, we will explore how this situation comes about and the changes we may need to make to ensure that we live our lives as we would like and with a sense of purpose.
