2 ND WEEK: SELF-EXPERIENCE & SELF-AWARENESS (29.7 2.8) Gerda Mehta, Ph.D., Psychotherapist, Clinical and Health Psychologist, Mediator, Supervisor, Head of the systemic therapy program in SFU, Member of board for psychotherapy in ministry for health, main field of practice: child protection, private practice with couples and families. The foremost posture of a Systemic Family Therapist is an unbiased respect for the client s life styles, personality, individual goals, values and life experiences; he/she shows openness, curiosity, and interest in the individual s attitudes, life concepts, preferences and traditions and their potential. Diverse therapeutic methods and interventions were developed, like specific techniques of questioning (e.g. circular, reflective, constructive questions), observational tasks, goal oriented questions, therapeutic rituals, family sculpting, externalizing the important issues to make them visible and experience them in another mode, metaphors or working with various settings, like reflecting teams. Ivana Slavkovic, Psychodrama therapist and trainer of the Institute for Psychodrama, Belgrade (Serbia), Secretary General of the Institute for Psychodrama, Registrar of the European Association for Psychotherapy. The psychodrama workshop aims to present the classical psychodrama - one of the oldest psychotherapeutic modalities based in the theoretical concepts of his founder, Viennese psychiatrist and psychotherapist J. L. Moreno. Psychodrama was the first school of psychotherapy that used action methods that are focused on both body and mind. Developed in 1920s and 1930s Psychodrama is rooted in humanistic philosophy and therefore its approach towards the human being is holistic. Psychodrama approach is also based on the idea that relationships are the crucial factor in human development and that a person can not be understood separately from his/her social group. The participants of the workshop will be offered information about the major theoretical concepts of psychodrama such as: creativity, spontaneity, action, encounter, role theory etc. Felix de Mendelssohn, Psychoanalyst and Group Analyst in private practice in Vienna and Berlin. He has served as Chairman of the Section for Group Analysis in IAGP (International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes), and is the former Director of the Dept. for Psychoanalytic Studies at the SFU Vienna. Apart from regular teaching and su-
pervision work in Vienna and Berlin, he has also participated in programs for training psychotherapists in Israel, Japan, Albania and the Ukraine. Group Analysis is directed toward an understanding of unconscious processes that occur in a group setting and to working through resistances that may arise toward such awareness. The group is the subject, object and instrument of the analytic process. Does the group, as such, exist at all, and if so, how? This is something for the individuals in the group to work out, with their own experiences, histories and personal approaches to these questions. Since we are dealing with the unconscious, we don't really know what is going to come up. S. Foulkes and W. Bion were the pioneers of this method in the years following World War Two. Hermann Wegscheider, Mag., Psychotherapist (Integrative Gestalt Therapy), teaching therapist (IGWien), lecturer at the SFU Vienna and supervisor (ÖBVP), co-founder and chairman of the Austrian Institute of Integrative Gestalttherapy (IGWien), teaching therapist for Transpersonal Psychotherapy und Holotropic Breathwork (ÖATP); management consulter for coaching and team development and leadership processes. Gestalt therapy is a humanistic therapy method that is based on three principles: phenomenological exploration to gain awareness of thoughts, emotions, body processes; the dialogical understanding of relationships; the concepts of the field theoretical approach and holism. Laura Perls called Gestalt Therapy existential, experiental and experimental. The method emphasizes personal responsibility and is focused on the individual s experience in the present moment. The empty chair technique, role play and creative media can be used to support personal change and development. Karin Macke, Mag., Person-Centered Psychotherapist, full member of the IPS, assistant women s counselling office, leader of the counselling service of Webster University, reteaming coach, supervisor. Founded by Carl Rogers (1902-1987) and since then in a constant process of genuine development, personal development means by personal encounter. It is based on a tradition rooted in the anthropological concept of the person of man, that is the man as an individual in the system, in his independence on the one hand, its relation dependence on the other hand, seriously. In the dialogical relationship of one person to the client is supported, with themselves and their own preferences, their own experience, the behavior and relationship formation deal.
