The following list
has
been significantly influenced by Dr. David Kipper
(in Chicago, USA), has been active in the IAGP and one of the
editors
of
the International Journal of Action Methods. I suggested that we
have
an
article about the state of the field internationally, and in
response
David
suggested the following survey among all the countries. (In my
email
communications,
I find that not every country's psychodrama community can be
easily
described
in these terms, but here is a mixture of his suggestions and what
you
might
be able to answer.
Also, you might print this off, copy it,
distribute
it among your colleagues, and compile the results. As people
respond,
I'll put an edited copy on my website. As corrections or additions
are
needed, please email me with how you want the summary revised. I'm
assuming
that unless you specify otherwise, it is okay for me to include
your
name
and email address or those of others– that you've checked with
them.
Please don't feel that you need to follow Dr. Kipper's outline
carefully, but rather just use it as a general guideline. If you can't
answer
some or most of the questions, that's okay--try answering any of
them
even just a little bit!
2. Your name
and
email address.
A: The name and email addresses of some of the major
trainers,
if they are willing to have their name and email address posted on
the
internet. (Please note what languages they speak, read and/or
write)
(B.
If
you have some names and addresses of enthusiastic practitioners or
students
who can read and write English and would also be willing to help
develop
the international community and internet correspondence, please
list a
few of these here–if they also give permission to do so.)
3. Number of
people in your country who are involved in psychodrama–
even a rough estimate. Perhaps that may be broken down into
the
following
categories:
A. Number of members of your national
psychodrama
organization, if you have one.
B. Number of people who have over 500 hours of
training
in psychodrama.
C. Number of people who have over 150 hours of
training.
(This is because there are a fair number of professional
therapists
who get some training and go on to use psychodramatic methods in
their
work without ever becoming identified in their own mind or
professionally
as psychodramatists.)
D. Number of people studying, in active ongoing
training programs–not just introductory or follow-up workshops.
4. If you have
a
professional association or society, what is
it (in your language, and then also translated into English)
A. When was it founded? Or
incorporated?
(1) What type of
incorporation?
(a)____Legal
(b)____Legal/professional
(c)
__Informal/voluntary
5. Does your
country's organization have a national newsletter?
How
often
is it published?
A. What about a professional
journal?
What is the name of the journal?
How often
is
it published?
(Do you also use publications from
international
newsletters or journals?)
(Do you publish many articles on
psychodrama
in your country's general psychological or psychotherapy journals,
mixed
with articles on other approaches?)
B. Does your organization have a website?
What is it?
Are there
any
papers on it? What languages are on it?
6. Have there
been any books published on psychodrama in your
country?
How many?
Please
list three of the more recently published ones.
Please note the books that are most widely used in your training programs, even if they were written many years ago.
7. Does your
country have a certification process that differentiates
people with a goodly amount of training from those who are
interested
in
psychodrama or a similar approach but not particularly trained?
If so, please estimate the number
of
certified practitioners.
A. If you do have a certification process, is
it
organized in your country or is there an international or other
certifying
board? What is the basis of certification?
(1) How many certified
practitioners
do you have?
(2) How many certified
trainers–
directors who are recognized as being able to train other
psychodramatists?
(See below for more detailed breakdown of types of practitioners, if you care to try to fill that section out.)
8. Number of
training programs or institutes in your country________
If less than four, please note their names and some
of
their main trainers.
If any of these trainers would be interested in
email communicating with colleagues internationally, and would be
willing
to list their names and email addresses online so that others
could
reach
them, please list those names and email addresses (five or less)
A. Estimated number of person currently in training programs___________

work?________
11. Is your national
organization affiliated with other organizations?
A. A general psychotherapy or
group psychotherapy organization in your country?
Which one?
B. An international psychodrama organization, such as FEPTO or (and) Psychodrama Institut fur Europa ?
12. Do you have
plans
for any national or international conferences?
A. When was your last conference and how many people
attended?
B. When is your next conference? What languages will
be
used?
12. What other questions would you suggest? Additional comments are welcome.
Dr. Kipper points out that a general email questionnaire will not offer a truly reliable sample for any scholarly assessment and will be biased by those who answer; my response is that we can only try, and then work with what we get–some information may be better than no information at all. Anyway, your help will be appreciated.
Finally, the nice
thing
about a web-page is that it can be easily revised,
so I'm interested in your suggestions as to how we can make this
process
more effective.
