  thanks, Adam.


  i had tried to email you a few weeks ago because Trudy Duffy said there is a new TEP recently relocated to Tucson. She lost his name and contact info to some computer problems. Do you have it?

    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.
