The management of Psychodrama Center Orpheus would like to express our sincere gratitude to all guest trainers, lecturers and supervisors: Prof. David Kipper, Bernhard Achterberg, Sue Daniel, Chantal Neve Hanquet, Dr. Roberto de Inocencio, Elaine Sachnoff, Prof. Pierre Fontaine, Yakov Naor, Eva Falstrom, Dr. Ralitsa Mendova, Dr. Monica Zuretti, Marcia Karp, Gabriela Moita, Manuela Maciel, Dena Baumgartner, Fabian Blobel, Helena Brem.
We would also like to thank all who donated specialized literature and training video and audio materials, namely: Adam Blatner, David Kipper, Goran Hogberg, Renee Marineau, Zerka Moreno, Anthony Williams, Dalmiro Bustos, Elaine Goldman, Marcia Karp, Christina Hagelthorn, Monica Zuretti, Sue Daniel, Monica Westberg, Marc Treadwell, Grete Leutz, Eva Roine, Lena Lopuhina, Dag Blomkvist, Chantal Neve, Fred Harris, Judy Swallow, Toni Horvatin.
We are also extremely grateful to all the institutes, centers and organizations that let us use their programs and training standards, namely: all founders of FEPTO, the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama, the Australian and New Zealand Psychodrama Association, and others. Without these materials it would have been impossible for us to create our training program, considering the complete lack of experience, traditions or models in this field in Bulgaria.
Amongst all, special places are reserved for three exceptional persons and great friends of Orpheus, who are not any longer among us:
- Zerka Moreno. In spite of the circumstances that prevented her from visiting Bulgaria, Zerka is the person who, since the very beginning – since my first meeting with her and with psychodrama at IAGP’s congress in Zagreb in 1986, has always supported me and Orpheus in every possibly way, during all kind of our
- David Kipper, who led and supported us in the creation of Orpheus, and directed us to psychodrama as a science
- Bernhard Ahthenberg, who actively supported and supervised us when Orpheus “was learning to walk”
