2: TECHNICAL WORKSHOP: BIPERSONAL PSYCHODRAMA: STEPS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF A WELL SUCCEEDED DRAMATIZATION
• Summary of the contents approached:
The bipersonal psychodrama is an extremely efficient way of emotional therapy, but it demands some technical adaptations that aloud the use of a dramatization without needing auxiliaries egos and in a period of time not over 50 to 60 minutes, the usual time for individual therapies.
By using games, dramatic exercises and theoretical explanations, I intend to help the students to:
• RESUMO DO CONTEÚDO ABORDADO:
O Psicodrama Bipessoal é uma forma extremamente eficiente de terapia emocional, mas demanda certas adaptações técnicas que lhe permitam utilizar a dramatização, sem o auxílio de egos auxiliares e dentro do espaço de tempo de 50 a 60 minutos, usual nas terapias individuais.
Através de jogos, exercícios dramáticos, e explicações teóricas, pretendo auxiliar os alunos a: 1. auxiliar o cliente a escolher,focar e aprofundar um tema; 2. utilizar uma clássica montagem de cena para iniciar uma dramatização; 3. utilizar a inversão de papéis e o jogo de papeis, bem como todas as técnicas clássicas de psicodrama, a fim de propiciar uma conexão com cenas regressivas ou uma resolução, no presente, do conflito apresentado; 4. Adentrar uma cena regressiva especificando: quais emoções e necessidades infantis atuaram na construção das defesas utilizadas; qual a função destas defesas na lógica infantil, sua pertinência e utilidade na vida adulta; como reparar danos antigos, quais necessidades infantis devem ser atendidas afim de que o paciente retome um funcionamento emocional eficiente em sua vida adulta.; 5. Terminar uma sessão aos 50-60 minutos, utilizando tarefas estratégicas para manter o aquecimento e a continuidade do trabalho na sessão seguinte.
· Help the client to choose, focus and go deeper in a theme;
· Use a classic scene set to start a dramatization;
· Use the reverse roles and the role playing as well as all the classic psychodramatic techniques, so as to propitiate a connection with regressive scenes or a resolution, in the present time, of a presented conflict;
· Research a regressive scene specifying: which emotions and childhood needs acted in the construction of the defenses used; what is the function of these defenses in the childhood logic, its relevance and utility in the adult life; how to repair old damages; which childhood needs should deserve attention in order to aloud the patient to recover an efficient emotional flow in his/her adult life;
· Finish a 50-60 minutes session using specific strategic homework in order to keep the warming up for the next session work.

4: SOCIODRAMATIC WORKSHOP:
TITLE: ETHNICAL PAIN: PRIDE, HUMILIATION, REVENGE AND REPARATION
• Minimum number of participants: there is not.
• Maximum number of participants: 100 people
• Summary:
The ethnical conflicts are spread everywhere and perpetuate all over the world, and they were theme of discussion at the last International Congress of Group Psychotherapy in London (1998). This sociodramatic work aims to investigate the presence of this kind of intercultural shock among us, Brazilians, since we are a multiethnic country, formed by the immigration of several cultures.
• Methodology:
I will use the socio-psychodramatic techniques to, if not pretentiously, "treat humanity", as Jacob Levy Moreno yearned, or at least, to try to delineate:
The wisdom and the pride we carry from our little private cultures;
Scenes of humiliation and shame associated to this ethnical background;
What we learn and decide from these struggling situations;
How to repair these ethnical pains so as to avoid revenge and retaliating behaviors that are harmful to everyone.
• Resources needed:
1. A big room without removable chairs in order to aloud people circulation
2. OHP (overhead projector)
• Duration: 2 hours

6: SECONDARY POS TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER: THERAPIST FATIGUE AND PROFESSIONAL ABUSE
• Summary:
The objective of this work is to discuss the unhealthiness of the professions that work with "helping the other"and the relation between the therapist stress and the professional abuse. The author argues if the choice of a profession is really a choice or if it is a destiny announced since the childhood, by the dysfunctional psychotherapist's primary family.
The author also discusses many systemic forces that influence the professionals such as: pressures form the patient and his/her pathology, unfavorable working conditions, bad sociometric insertion of the professional, demands of love and care from the actual family, pressures from the original family, etc. The necessity of the professional to plead for himself and to take good care of himself as well, is emphasized as a "sine qua non"condition to really "help the other".
• Methodology:
I intend to make a quick experiential workshop so as to touch the colleagues about the referred matter.
Afterwards, by using transparences, I will show and discuss the theme.
• Number of people: unlimited.
• Resources Needed:
1. OHP (over head projector)
2. Room with flexible chairs
• Duration: 1 hour and a half to 2 hours.
