Dear Friends, 

This year, Istanbul Psychodrama Institute will be organizing the 30th Istanbul Psychodrama Conference. Thirty years ago, we held our first Psychodrama Conference in Bodrum as an institute. The structure we established in 1994 as AGİ - Ankara Group Psychotherapies Institute quickly expanded and moved to Istanbul with its new name. When we read the list of psychodrama conferences we have organized over the years, it is easily apparent how far we have come on this significant journey; you can see it on this link: http://www.istpsikodrama.com.tr/sayfa/psikodrama-egitimleri/uluslararasi-istanbul-psikodrama-konferanslari

Psychodrama Group Psychotherapy is the pioneer in the field developed by J.L. Moreno, making it the first form of group psychotherapy in the world. As observed in Türkiye, it has a deep-rooted history. The system brought to Türkiye by Dr. Abdülkadir Özbek is now fully established throughout the country and our institute not only contributes nationally but also to the international arena.

30 Blessed Years... We will celebrate this precious milestone appropriately starting from September 2023 with various events involving our friends students and graduates. Workshops, conferences, competitions, special seminars, trips, dinners, and parties will accompany this celebration.

Remembering and celebrating what we have achieved and experienced is an important aspect of life.

Happy 30th Anniversary to our Institute.

Warmly

Deniz Altınay, Psych.M.A.
