A significant employment opportunity for ACA members in your area.

Sun May 18 19:41:38 CDT 2008

Hi Connie and others (repeated because I only sent it to Connie - a regular habit)

I imagine that the ACA is a large organisation whose members know little about psychodrama. I take this from searching for the term in their publications which are extensive. As a post graduate area of specialisation it is the ACA members who would most benefit from education about psychodrama and who could most appreciate the application. Your ACA have a few publications that relate to group work and also they promote the Association of Specialists in Group Work - which have to be an interesting mob in their own right.  The ACA would probably be dead keen to include psychodrama and related stuffs in what they do and offer.  

I am taking this kind of approach here in my neck of the woods. And the local ACA - same acronym different organisation - here the organisation is keen to have their members educated - because they realise psychodrama is a method that would benefit many of their members and that they know nothing about it and that it is their job to educate them.

Cheers from over here
