Studies: Degree in psychology, 1981
Psychodrama education
In 1968 I began my training in psychodrama under the leadership of Anne Ancelin Schützenberger, trainer at that time of the “Groupe français de Sociométrie et de Dynamique de Groupe” and guest of the Verveine (Louvain) which became a section of the CFIP in 1977.
In the course of my training I participated in many different psychodrama groups and acquainted myself with a variety of therapeutic approaches.

Psychodrama activities
From 1970 to 1973 I led a therapeutic psychodrama group with children.
From 1977 to 1998 I led a therapeutic psychodrama group (experiential level) and in 1998 I started and led the didactic psychodrama group at the CFIP.

I also developed with Jacques Pluymaekers (trainer in family therapy), a psychodramatic method called “landscape genogram”, a transgenerational approach which integrates metaphor with the play of psychodrama.
The psychodrama, with its dimension of group work, made me aware of the symbolism that emerges as a result of the collective work of the group. This symbolism can be shown to relate to the work of Jung on the collective unconscious and the archetypes.
I make every effort to ensure that psychodrama remains alive in French speaking Belgium    .
I conduct landscape genogram groups in France, Greece, Italy, Quebec and Switzerland.
Since 1993 I have been conducting different training and supervision groups in Sofia, Bulgaria
I have written many articles about the landscape genogram with Jacques Pluymaekers and about the body in therapy with Christine van der Borght. In addition, I have co-authored several articles with Pierre Fontaine.

Others specialisations
In 1988 I became a Jungian analyst a the SBPA (Société Belge de Psychologie Analytique)
In 1981 I became a trainer in family therapy (IPFS- Namur Be)
In my psychotherapeutic practice, I work with individuals, couples and families. I conduct several supervision groups.

Association membership

Zoran ĐJURIĆ

Born 1954 in Serbia, neuropsychiatrist and psychotherapist, married, lives in Belgrade.

I started my psychodrama experience (or journey or trip) in the year 1987 in Belgrade. At that time I was on my specialization on neurology and psychiatry and interested in psychoanalysis. I knew something about psychoanalytical psychodrama (French, Lebovisy) from literature. My professors were biological psychiatrists and not friendly toward psychotherapy.

My elder colleague dr. Dusan Potkonjak, pioneer of psychodrama in former Yugoslavia formed the psychodrama group in spite some professor’s resistance who used to say that psychodrama is »lunatic job«. I joined that group and realized again as I knew it before that I inclined to »lunatics« and other mad and strange people. To tell the truth in that group there were a lot of talented, intelligent and handsome people from different professions… and some lunatics, off course. That group was the basis of education in Morenian psychodrama held by School of Medicine, University of Belgrade and Oxford University from England and professor psychodramatist Andrew Powell. Marcia Karp, Ken Sprague, Susie Taylor, Rudi Nigaard, John Casson were the people who helped our education. I was certified as psychodramatist in the year 1990.
It was really a long time ago. »Once upon a time« in different country, different system with different ideology and approach to humanity. Then all »different« in former Yugoslavia crushed in blood and desperation and I started from 1991 to conduct psychodrama groups with Dusan Potkonjak, Jasna Veljkovic, Zoran Ilic and Vladimir Milosevic.

Dusan left the war country in 1994 and went to England. From 1995 I started to conduct educational groups together with Jasna, Zoran and Vladimir. In 2008 I still work with Zoran Ilic and Jasna Veljkovic in the same organization. It is a success when we know that things in former two Yugoslavias, Serbia and Montenegro and today’s Serbia were nearer to destructive than to developmental trends.

In 1998 I became the president of Yugoslav Psychodrama Association. That organization divided in 2005 in two organizations: Belgrade Psychodrama Center with me as a president and »Institute for Psychodrama«.

In the year 1998 Jasna Veljkovic and I published the first Morenian psychodrama book in our country »Psychodrama and Sociodrama«. In 2003 we, Jasna and me as psychodramatists and Miki Tomic as cartoonist, published »Psychodrama« comic book first in English in Belgrade and after that in Serbian in Belgrade. That comic book was translated and published in Portuguese language in Brazil-it was fantastic, Croatian language in Zagreb- it was funny as Serbian and Croatian language are the same language in fact, as you translate something from English to American English, then followed edition in (better) English by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in London and Philadelphia and it became a serious fact for me, after that we got Japanese translation and publishing by lovely and modest Mayoumi Jamada in Japan and it was marbles and then followed Korean translation in hard covers- this is something fantastic, marbles and dreamlike for me.

I also published about fifty papers on psychodrama, group analytical psychotherapy and psychiatric issues in journals, on conferences and in different books and publications.
In 2004 with Jasna Veljkovic I was the editor of »Psychodrama« journal of that time’s Yugoslav Psychodrama Association.

From 1988 to 1994 I completed my didactical analysis and theoretical program in psychoanalytical psychotherapy education.

In 1994 my education in group analysis held by Institute for Group Analysis from London was stopped after I spent four years in education. In order to form a group I found the job in prison and conducted group analytical group of prisoners on 120 sessions. Destruction of former Yugoslavia destructed my group analysis.

Today I work as a psychiatrist in Psychiatric Hospital »Dr Laza Lazarevic« in Belgrade. This is a hospital with tradition of 150 years. (It is interested to say that Laza Lazarevic was Serbian writer and physician from XIX century who described Lasseggue’s neurological sign some time before that French author published it) I conduct psychodrama and group therapy groups with psychotics and other difficult patients.
I also work in Belgrade Psychodrama Center. We have two educational groups in this moment.

Work: Counselling and psychotherapy with individuals, couples and groups; supervision and coaching; sociodrama with large groups; trainer for psychodrama.

A big emphasis of my work has been on working with drug therapists, gender questions, helping people to develop in groups, working with large groups and using psycho- and sociodrama to research the interdependent influence between families and contemporary history. Also, for two years I conducted a research project on the topic “Family and National Socialism”. Participants were a group of “children” of higher or lower ranking members of the „Wehrmacht” on the eastern front. Psycho- and sociodrama proved extremely powerful in this context.

Background: After finishing school I moved on to work as a programmer, later as systems analyst at IBM Germany for six years. Whilst studying pedagogic and then psychology I was working for 10 years as an independent IT-consultant. For 10 years I have been training others in psychodrama as trainer of the Moreno Institut Stuttgart until the foundation of my own institute (SZENEN) in 1991. Besides psychodrama, I have also been trained in client centered therapy, breath therapy, bioenergetics, yoga, gestalt- and psychoanalytic therapy. Finally, 11 years ago, I started meditating guided by different western teachers of Tibetan schools.
