WHAT IS THE BPA
The British Psychodrama Association (BPA) was established in 1984 and exists to promote and encourage the use of psychodrama and sociodrama throughout the UK and Ireland. The BPA is accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and is the UK’s accrediting organisation for psychodrama and sociodrama training schools.
Who Can Practice Psychodrama?
The BPA is keen to protect the public and the good reputation of psychodrama and sociodrama. For this reason, all bona fide psychodrama practitioners, trainers and trainees are invited to be registered with the BPA. All practitioner members of the BPA are required to abide by its Code of Practice and Code of Ethics.
It is a requirement of BPA membership that UK based Psychodrama practitioners who have completed a recognised Psychodrama Psychotherapy training are individually registered as Psychodrama Psychotherapists on the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy register.
Training
Psychodrama training is available in the UK at BPA accredited Training Centres and with BPA registered trainers. Training is also available in Sociodrama and Action Methods.
Supervision
All Psychodramatists are required to have regular supervision for their work and to continue their professional development.
Policies & Procedures
The BPA endeavours to be increasingly acceptable to and actively supportive of the involvement of under-represented groups in the community in its trainings and activities.
