To become a psychodramatist means to follow a different philosophy of life consisting of the experiential development of inner vision and therefore awareness through the promotion of spontaneity and creativity. Psychodramatists work with a wide range of individuals and groups to improve and develop new understandings and abilities in all areas of life. The psychodramatic approach is holistic and oriented towards supporting natural human development as it takes into account the wholeness of the individual. Through this four-year experiential journey one can develop a broad system of values and roles and receive knowledge and resources to be able to function successfully through the role of psychodramatist as she/he will be able to deal creatively with herself/himself and the team, even when it is going through intense situations. The psychodramatic study gives us the possibility as learners to work in depth with our own issues, opening the way inward, teaching us how to relate healthily, expanding our possibilities, increasing our capacity to contain but also expanding our abilities to be creative.
