How Sociatry

[Adam Blatner]

Howdy, all. If sociatry is the application of Morenean methods to helping the world, here's how I see it:
        People lack adequate skills for self-awareness, problem-solving, and communications. We need experiential methods to train folks in those skills---they can't be learned by just reading self-help books. 
        The need for these skills is even greater because the kinds of issues in our lives are significantly more complex than a hundred or even 50 years ago. What is needed---and what we offer---are interpersonal and group "tools" that help people explore and develop skills and ways of addressing issues with more complexity, more integration of mind and heart, imagination, intuition. 
       Life is becoming more complex, and we need tools that facilitate our adaptation to this ratcheted-up degree of complexification. Psychodrama offers just such tools, generating a mental and social infrastructure of greater mental flexibility.
        It does this by promoting creativity, improvisation, play, drama, group dynamics, and many techniques that support these categories. I especially like the user-friendly language of applied role theory, which makes it easier to talk about psychology in a more familiar fashion, with less weird jargon. I consider this an important contribution in itself. Plus role theory complements perfectly the other components in the system.
        blah blah blah,  I can really wax enthusiastic. 
    Point is, we need all the help we can get. I see these approaches really offering tools for the world / Spirit to evolve human consciousness. That's my personal mission, and I appreciate your being part of this exciting endeavor. 

      your pal, Adam
