Activities of the TDP 

In 2003, AAP organized the first Trainer Development Program in Kentucky with the purpose of fostering a community of trainers, providing training opportunities for aspiring trainers and encouraging critical thinking and dialogue regarding psychosynthesis theory and practice. At this TDP, two subgroups were formed around six core constructs of psychosynthesis. Each group critically examined the construct and developed a brief presentation to express their findings and receive feedback from their peers. Summary documents, audio recordings of discussions and video recordings of presentations were created by each subgroup. Please be aware that this program was a training opportunity to creatively reflect on current psychosynthesis concepts and does not represent a complete or final conceptualization of each construct in question.

During the following years, psychosynthesis practitioners had opportunities to develop and try out different workshops in consultation with a mentor and receive feedback from their peers. In 2007, demonstrations of guiding principles in different application settings were offered. In 2008, the theme of the TDP meeting was theory development. Some of the workshops and TDP presentations were video taped for training purposes and can be viewed over a broadband connection. For a list of available presentations, see the left panel.
