Guidelines for the Psychodramatists

Umbrella: Focus in mother-daughter relationship Focus in social level more then individual (the aim of the project is not cure the trauma but give awareness for the social construction of the women role) You work on your own way. The proposal presented is just a first draft for beginning to think (is not a model to follow, is something to warming up!)

To fill in the draft power point with what we really did. Like this at the end we can have five really proposals for share betweeen us and among the psychodrama comunity.

The construction of a network, knowing our needs, increase the feeling of being together and the possibility to be in contact.

The clarity of the importance of the Educators: Not only creating the groups but taking care of the women’s WE ARE A TEAM ! Psychodramatists will invite Educator’s to join a Psychodrama session or a workshop

You have to write a small description about yourself (a small psychodramatic biography i.e your main teacher…) and your modality to conduct the psychodramatic group. If you are two psychodramatists if there is a professional io-auxiliary

You have to describe the group: – How many women are there in the group; – How many times the group run in a week (the group can run one or two times per week); – The women can be accepted to participate in the group until the 18 th session (after that session women can not enter in the group). All women have to design their social family atom.

REPORTS First PD session The first PD session of each month The last PD session Obligatory to send: the sociogram of the family social atom of each women (or a report about a session with this aim, in case you will work with any woman individually). The family social atom must be sent at the beginning and at the end of the process (in case you want also to resport this session add this report)

Rules for report: Recorded speak (approximately 8-10 minutes). Please speak slowly and clearly!!!. This interview must be in MP3 format. or Written report (not more than one page). The reports must be in English.

Information needed in the report I: Important: Please describe at the beginning of this report if in the previous sessions there were references to components (mother, father, partner, etc… ) of the social family atom of the women. (Please keep in mind that this is about social believes; it will be helpful to point out the code of the woman who shared any of these components)

Information needed in the report II: How many women participated in the session; If there were women who participated for the first time; Which was the session’s theme, the topic (for Paolo to know); The important aspect that psychodramatist has to take into consideration (for example: important person, which role the woman play, internal resources, etc); Questions about the session that the psychodramatist asks to himself/herself “(Why does she choose her mother and not her father…?”); The relationship of mother, father and partner …. You have to put more attention to the mother!; Same information about previous sessions related with this current session; Specify if during the session, some objects were used or some aspects of the physical context important for the psychodrama.

Other important information The woman can be integrated the group if she agree to participate in at least six sessions (decided and explained by the educator). Please remember: You have to use the social family atom strategy at the beginning and at the end of the group and in last report you speak about the comparison.

ATTENTION In case of early drop out try to do the post test (together with the educator) (could it be written in the contract ?) All the women which have been in the group will be calculated!
