Conference LogoMeeting at The Edge

We warmly invite you to submit a workshop or presentation at the Sydney ANZPA Conference, 21-25 January 2010. The conference theme is ‘Meeting At The Edge’.

You can submit workshops and presentations in four ways:

  • Online (preferred). Fill out the online form

  • Fax. Complete required fields below. Print off the text below, complete, and fax to +61 2 97035881
  • Post. Send completed forms to L McNab, 72 Victoria St, Katoomba NSW 2780, Australia.

Deadline is 14 August, 2009

We wish to create a program where we can meet each other at the edge in a number of ways: at the edge of the method – new frontiers: at the edge of our practice: at our personal edges: and across the edge between different cultures. Please reflect on these ideas and images and warm up to submitting a proposal that contributes to our life together. These presentations will be on Friday, Saturday and Monday of the Conference.

There is a wide range of topics you may develop, including such things as applications of the psychodramatic method in education, organisations, community development, cultural conflict, group work, one-to-one therapy, family therapy, the creative arts and research in any of these areas. A session may focus on sociometry, classical psychodrama, sociodrama, role training, particular elements of theory and practice or the conduct of training.

We expect a wide variety of people to come, from those with little or no experience of psychodrama to current trainees, to those with many years of experience.

The online form will be sent to Lynley McNab, Program Committee Secretary, . You will receive an email acknowledging the receipt of your proposed session.

The deadline for sending proposals is 14 August. Presenters will be notified individually of confirmation later in August.
