Hello all: In keeping with the idea of letting folks know about conferences:
I am presenting Action Methods with Eating Disorders at the annual Renfrew
Foundation Conference next month in Philadelphia. The conference is held
each year in early Nov. and is a valuable resource for anyone who works with
the eating disorder population. Check out their website. I think it is

Dear Jacob, Barnett and Rebecca,
Thank you so much for writing.
I recently consulted with my supervisor about this issue so it is fresh
on my mind. I get confused about how to draw the boundaries,
particularly for one-day offerings. I am still discovering my own
comfort level and beliefs. I have seen groups configured in so many
different ways. I have also seen people hurt in the process. I have also
seen some "dual relationships" work. Thanks for adding your pieces.
Look forward to seeing you in NY.
Happy holidays to those celebrating.
Sincerely,
Sylvia

>When I joined Bob Siroka?s psychodrama training group I was impressed by
his abilities and skills as director and group leader but also by the group
composition in which I became a member. It was a large group (more than 20
members), striking in its diversity: a huge age span, men and women, of
many backgrounds. This was a training group but some of the members were
there for ?personal? work, clearly not even planning to become certified
psychodramatists. While some members were successful professionally and with
highly developed interpersonal skills, there were others who are struggling
making ends meet and even socially isolated. The group experience was
profound. We met once a week for three hours and could attend a full-day
workshop which Bob co-led with Jacquie on a Saturday once a month. The
latter was an open workshop open to all. Later, when I started leading my
own groups and open workshops I often wondered why and how that model, where
mixing trainees and clients
>in one group, worked. Of course, those in training had to study the
theories and prepare for the exams and onsite evaluations. Nonetheless, the
lines are blurred between personal and professional motivations to pursue a
deeper understanding and knowledge of this method at once fascinating and
elusive. The mixed group model worked not only because of the charismatic
leadership of Bob and his masterful abilities, but also because of the power
of the group process and effect of sociometry and psychodrama in bringing
together people of vastly different interests and professional/ educational
goals. Unlike the open workshops, both the training groups and therapy
groups are not open to people who wish to just attend once or more.
Membership in such groups is closed at a certain point.

I learned to work with these differences and with the commonalities among
group members. In my open workshops some of my clients attend as well as
others. In most cases people register, but even if they don?t they are drawn
to psychodrama either because of past experience or because they are
referred by their own therapists. I have learned to trust my abilities to
deal with problems as they arise and to trust the process and the power of
the group. It is difficult to explain what it takes to be present with the
group, to listen to the members? narrative and transform it into actions in
ways that speak to most group members.

Dear Colleagues,
New article published: (the year numbering is a year late, alas, but
that's journal publishing. It just came out.)
Blatner, A. (2005). Perspectives on Moreno, psychodrama, and
creativity. Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, 1 (2), 111-121.
You may find it at http://www.haworthpress.com/web/JCMH

Another interesting article:
Bodenhorn, Nancy; & Starkey, Donna. (2005). Beyond role-playing.
Increasing counselor empathy through theatre exercises. Journal of
Creativity in Mental Health, 1 (2), 17- 27.
Interesting because the authors seem to have zero awareness of
drama therapy or psychodrama. The references are to people who write about
empathy, and a few sparse references (that are nevertheless intriguing) on
role taking and method acting. Drawing on Boal (Theatre of the Oppressed),
Spolin (creative drama and theatre games), and a touch of family sculpting
writings, the authors claim that these exercises can foster empathy.
I agree, but it's unclear why role playing is phrased as "beyond"... I
couldn't find that part..
http://www.blatner.com/adam/pdntbk/tchempathy.htm for another paper
related to this...
Since I'd been using the development of role playing skills as a foundation
for learning about empathy at workshops at the American Psychiatric
Association annual meetings and elsewhere since the mid-1980s and before....
(Nor do the authors recognize that family sculpture also derives from
the action sociogram, described in the psychodrama literature since 1963)...
Oh, well.

Hi there...Maybe everyone knows this but I just found on the ASGPP website a
little button to go to that had a call for papers and a list of papers and
presentations that are being requested..... They look kind of neat....I am
in that frenzy of trying to gather as much information for my upcoming CP
Exam and came across it by accident. We have so much to offer...It would be
great to see us out there more often! Kaya
-------------- Original message from "HV Psychodrama" <hvpi at hvc.rr.com>:

Dear Psychodramatists,
Isn't it frustrating to find out about a conference at which you might
want to present, AFTER the call for proposals is due? Let's help each other
out and share call for proposals on grouptalk. The more we are out there, at
conferences other than just psychodrama and drama therapy, the more visible
our method becomes in the world at large. For example. when is the next
National Counseling Conference? how about Addictions Counselor conferences?
Social Work conferences? So next time you find about a conference, let us
all know! We will all benefit if more of us are presenting at more and more
conferences.

find therapeutic schools.

These are terrific, but I suspect there are a lot more...so folks, send your
info to the ASGPP, but also send it to grouptalk. The more the merrier!

Hi there...Maybe everyone knows this but I just found on the ASGPP website
a little button to go to that had a call for papers and a list of papers and
presentations that are being requested..... They look kind of neat....I am
in that frenzy of trying to gather as much information for my upcoming CP
Exam and came across it by accident. We have so much to offer...It would be
great to see us out there more often! Kaya

Dear Psychodramatists,
Isn't it frustrating to find out about a conference at which you
might want to present, AFTER the call for proposals is due? Let's help each
other out and share call for proposals on grouptalk. The more we are out
there, at conferences other than just psychodrama and drama therapy, the
more visible our method becomes in the world at large. For example. when is
the next National Counseling Conference? how about Addictions Counselor
conferences? Social Work conferences? So next time you find about a
conference, let us all know! We will all benefit if more of us are
presenting at more and more conferences.

Dear Ed, your recent email reminds me to ask you to look around at the
conference you may
go to in Miami--to see who is applying drama in any form in the service of
their
mission--and please get back to me.
In the other email to the listserve I'll explain why. warmly, adam

Dear Colleagues,
I've submitted the file and the wheels are in motion to produce an
anthology about different ways folks are doing drama in the service of
community-building, education, therapy, personal empowerment, and
recreation. Its title is: Interactive and Improvisational Drama: Varieties
of Applied Theatre and Performance.
I hope it will be published by February, 2007. It will have over 33
chapters, plus a website full of webpage supplements to the various
chapters--which will double the value of the book.
Publisher will be iUniverse.
I envision this work as carrying forward Moreno's vision of
sociatry, and using group methods and drama in a wide range of formats (such
as Fox's playback theatre) to forward the healing of the wider culture.
I would be very appreciative of ideas you might have about:
-- anecdotes of applying psychodramatic methods in non-clinical settings,
not as therapy per se, but for any of the aforementioned purposes..
-- references that speak to these wider purposes
-- suggestions for marketing, people you know who do drama in interesting
ways--especially non-scripted and interactive types of drama
Warmly, Adam Blatner
