Private practice: Organising, teaching and training of Psychodrama, Supervision, Leading psychotherapy groups, individual psychotherapy

Psychodrama training:
I started with my psychodrama training after a workshop with Gretel Leutz as a student of Moreno Institute Überlingen in 1976. Main trainers were Barbara Erlacher and Ernst Engelke. I was graduated there and by the Psychodrama Section of the Austrian Association of Group-therapy and Group-dynamic in 1982 and have been Psychodrama trainer in this organisation since 1989 until 2015.

Professional development:
After finishing my studies at the university I started working in an institution for mentally and physically handicapped adults and changed after three years to work with children, teachers and parents as a school psychologist and leader of a school psychology centre. Beside this work I was always practising psychodrama with clients in groups and in individual sessions.
After giving birth to our son Jakob 1995 (it was just in the time the FEPTO meeting took place in Louvain) I stopped working for a while and enjoyed family life together with my husband. Step by step I began with psychotherapeutic work again. Since 1991 I have been teaching psychodrama at the University. 2001 the training course for psychodrama psychotherapy started at the University of Innsbruck and I became in charge of the scientific leadership of this course.

My curiosity brought me in contact with psychodrama and is still leading me to new paths I am steadily looking for. Psychodrama developed my ability to see always the strengths in people I am in contact with and facilitates beside my sense of humour all the enriching encounters I had and will have in my life.

We have lost a great psychodramatist

Ildikó Mävers, who left us 2015 November 17.

Ildikó took the bull by the horns as Europa in the Greek mythology and created an organisation for 25 years ago, Psychodrama Institute für Europa. Their training in psychodrama covered a big part of the Eastern European countries, before the iron curtain fell. Her work created the basics of sustainable psychodrama training in those countries. This fruitful work couldn’t be done without her dedication and competencies in both teaching and organising.

I met Ildikó for the first time in Hungary where we both started our first psychodrama continuous training 27 years ago. We often stayed at the same hotel, the Guest House of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, build in Social Realist style in concrete with it’s own kitchen and puritan interior design. In the evenings, when we were both in Budapest during the same week, Ildikó made a nice tea table with cookies and flowers. We were able to share our teaching experiences. We had a special relationship in our Hungarian origins and in our German / Swedish present lives. We both came back to Hungary bringing psychodrama to well educated psychologists and psychiatrists. A milieu had pervaded from the Budapest School of psychoanalysis and from a group-centred psychodrama, which was already in use by Professor Ferenc Mérei who met Moreno 1963, and his students.

My last meeting with Ildikó was in the summer when we prepared the large group warm up at the 25th anniversary of the Hungarian Psychodrama Association. Somehow the circle was closed, but not the importance of Ildikó’s eternal contributions in psychodrama’s history.

Her far too early departure is a big loss for all psychodramatists in Europe.

Languages: French and English (understanding of written and spoken language)

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
Member of SBPA (Société Belge de Psychologie Analytique), Abiffs and EFTA ( European Family Therapy Asociation), Groupement des formateurs en thérapie familiale, Bruxelles,

Very soon after the start of my psychodrama training 1977 with Zerka I started to use the method in my family therapy work, in conflict management at hospitals, organizational management and wherever I worked. The 70-es and even the 80-es were an era of free experimenting of creative methods, in the spirit of anti-psychiatry. Today I use psychodrama and sociodrama as supervision method for different staff, as educational tool for social workers and family therapists. Further more as assessment method (Genosociogram among others) of assumptive foster families and adoptive couples.

My special area is psychodrama work with psychosomatic disease.

Research – 5 years treatment and research program with long lasting psychosomatic disease at the National Institute for Psychosocial Factors and Health, Stockholm.

This could be the best way for a father to die, released from pain and surrounded by his love ones. Even though it must be a chock when a power of a man fads away and leave the earth. But the very special connection will stay there forever.
I am with you in your pain.

Dear Friends,

Sorrow and sadness for the terrible new of the death of our friend Founding Member Helmut Barz would like to express my deep emotion with this image, and share with you all mourn and sadness. The next Saturday 17 March we’ll burn a candle between 19 and 20 in memory of the dear Helmut in different place contemporaneously. So we’ll feel more near to share our mourning in our friend’s Psychodramatic Communities.

Sharing of tears in a deep hug,
Wilma Scategni

Todesanzeige Helmut Barz

mailto:rdinocencio@gmail.com

I was born on Feb. 18, 1944 in Havana, Cuba. My family was of humble origins and their cultural background was scarce. As they have told me, I always showed a keen interest and curiosity towards things and people. My early years were spent attending school, sharing time and games with friends – some of which are still part of my life – and readings comics. When I was around 6 years old, my family moved from downtown Havana to live in the outskirts of the city. This change in my life was fundamental and probably was the cause of my taste for open spaces and my love for nature itself. My taste for music, languages and dancing became evident and was developed during adolescence. That was a time of exploration along with friends. Some of these were not only friends but also dear members of my family. My father’s mother played a relevant role during my early life and kept me company in very difficult moments of my childhood. Her death, when I was around ten years old, was a hard blow and her abscence is still noted by me.
I left Cuba when I was 17 and went to live in USA. I lived there for the following six years. They covered my late adolescence and the early years of my adulthood. I had to work hard for survival and, following the advice of a dear friend, started to study at CCNY. I worked toward a BA in English Literature and Art. What I learned during those years have left in me an endless interest for the arts and a knowledge of the English language that make me hesitate at times when I am speaking Spanish; my mother tongue. I served the US Army. It was not an easy experience. I learned a lot from it, however. Persistence, faith in my latent resources, discipline, compassion and empathy as well as patience and tolerance became usual companions during that long year. They are still with me. When I was 23 I decided to start studying medicine, largely influenced by a teacher at the University of Miami.
So in 1967, I went to Spain. It was not an easy decision to move from America to Europe. I started my career at the University of Salamanca and finished it at the University of Santiago de Compostela, six years later. Those were years of discoveries, of fulfilment of the dreams of youth I had not had the chance to live before, due to the need for survival that was always present during my years in the States. These were years full of romance during which I established relationships which were to determine the rest of my life: friends – once again – and love. I met Maria in Santiago. She was to be mother of my children Carla y Mario.

I practiced rural medicine for one year in Avila before I was accepted as a resident in Psychiatry at Parayas Hospital and Valdecilla Hospital in Santander, Spain I have lived and practiced in Santander since. There I have established my home and my place of living. I still have a penchant for literature, music and my work. However, being a father has been the role from which I have learned most in my life. It is for this reason that I am most appreciative of those who have made it possible. I am also very appreciative of what have become basic values in my life; namely, friendship, honesty and loyalty. I have learned that these are qualities that are acquired early in life. I have also learned that is easy to fault them.
