OPEN PSYCHODRAMA SESSIONS
The Psychodrama OPEN SESSION is instructional, experiential and low key - a great way to experience the greatness of Psychodrama within a safe setting. Though therapeutic value is often felt from the experience, Open Sessions are not psychotherapy sessions and the director is not present in the role of psychotherapist. The purpose of the Open Session is for participants to experience the Psychodramatic method as an introduction. All experience levels are welcome.
Next Open Session: December 15
More information and registration

Organized by Maria Mellano, LICSW, CP.
Held at The Arlington Center at 369 Mass Ave, Arlington, MA, 02474, 781 316 0282 from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. Cost is $15.00 at the door by cash or check made out to the Arlington Center.
