free chapter

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Linnea, thank you for the good words. However, please note that my chapter on 
psychodrama was part of the last (7th) edition, not the latest 8th edition. It is held 
over as a remnant, so to speak--which is why they allow it to be posted.
   The point here is that without Ray Corsini's insistence, the chapter would not be 
included. Danny Wedding, the senior author for every other issue, polls senior faculty or 
chairs of the various counseling and psychology departments and the replys he received 
last year showed psychodrama near the bottom, with other types of psychotherapy being 
preferred. There was a fuss about this on grouptalk, with some folks saying we should 
protest. I found this response to be an example of denial, because in fact the field has 
failed to present a sufficiently compelling argument---not to the editors, but to the 
wider field; and we can only do that through a much more widespread effort at research and 
submitting papers for publication, presenting at other conferences, affiliating with 
colleges, attracting academically-oriented people, and so forth.
          Interesting, eh?  Warmly, Adam
