The SOCIEDADE PORTUGUESA DE PSICODRAMA (Portuguese Psychodrama Association) was founded in 1986, by twelve psychiatrists trained since 1982 under the direction of the Brazilian psychodramatist, Alfredo Correia Soeiro,MD, who was the President of the V International Psychodrama Congress in São Paulo (Brazil) in 1970. The first training group started in Oporto  according the training programme of the argentine and brazilian school of Psychodrama, led by Jaime Rojas Bermudez,MD. Then other training groups were running in Coimbra and in Lisbon. Now the S.P.P. has a training programme under the direction of the Portuguese Psychodramatists.

However the first groups of Morenian Psychodrama in Portugal (as Triadic Psychodrama including psychodrama, group psychotherapy, group process and non-verbal communication developed by Jim Enneis and Anne Ancelin Schützenberger) were running in Lisbon in the late sixties by the French psychologist Pierre Weil, working in Belo Horizonte in Brazil, later replaced by Anne Ancelin Schützenberger, PhD, TEP. These groups were heterogenious and included psychiatrists, psychologists, teachers, social workers and people interested in movies, theatre and the arts, but the experience was interrupted after the Carnation Revolution, without any form of organization.

The S.P.P. is a "no profit scientific association , with the goals to promote and publicise activities, studies and research in psychodrama and sociodrama ; to organize and co-ordinate courses for clinical training of qualified professionals for the pratise of these techniques".

The S.P.P. has organized biennial congresses since 1990

and 

At the present the Board of the S.P.P. includes Fernando Vieira, MD (President), Joana Coutinho (Vice-President), Fani Lopes (Secretary), José Correia (Treasurer) and Margarida Couto, José Alberto Garrido e Luciano Moura, and the Training Committee includes José Luís Pio Abreu (President), José Manuel Teixeira de Sousa, António Roma Torres, Cristina Villares Oliveira and Manuela Maciel.
 

The S.P.P. is a member of the International Association of Group Psychoterapy (I.A.G.P.), Psychodrama Section, founded in Zurich in 1973 by J. L. Moreno, and of the Federation of European Psychodrama Training Organisations (F.E.P.T.O.)
