British Psychodrama Association

The British Psychodrama Association (BPA) is a member-based professional association for psychodramatists, sociodramatists and the general public. Established in 1984, it 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 serves as the UK's accrediting organisation for psychodrama and sociodrama training schools. It is a company limited by guarantee (company number 2928708). The association offers workshops, events and psychotherapy sessions, both in person and online. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in psychodrama, sociodrama and action methods, with different levels depending on circumstances, and welcomes members from all over the world. The BPA provides specialised resources and services, helps the public find a psychodramatist or sociodramatist, locates workshops, courses, therapy groups and events, and sets out the ethical and training standards of the profession. It also organises a highly acclaimed annual conference. To protect the public and the reputation of psychodrama and sociodrama, all bona fide practitioners, trainers and trainees are invited to register with the BPA. Practitioner members must abide by its Code of Practice and Code of Ethics. UK-based psychodrama practitioners who have completed a recognised training are required to be individually registered as Psychodrama Psychotherapists on the UKCP register. Training is available at BPA-accredited training centres and with BPA-registered trainers, and all psychodramatists are required to have regular supervision and continue their professional development.
