An interesting quote

[Edward Schreiber]

What I  mean Jim is that I have 3 basic texts for a graduate class on  
our method:

1) The Quintessential Zerka
2) A General Theory of Love (limbic brain material)
3) A Language Older Than Words (Derrick Jensen)

These are the 3 basic texts.
In addition they have the option (strongly encouraged)
for a 4th text of their choice from the psychodrama community.

For instance, Tian's books, Adam's books, Jonathan Fox's book on Moreno,
Rene's biography, Jacob Garshoni's book - are all offered from my  
collection
and the students can take a book on loan of these.  Oh, this also  
includes Psychodrama
Vol. 1 and 2.

They have a weekly reflections paper to integrate the material, and  
the weekly material always is
sociometric theory and tests, action structures of warm ups and role  
reversal training, using the double and
mirror techniques, processing and bringing in A General Theory of  
Love.  By weaving AGTOL into the fabric
of the graduate class, the class has a grounding for psychodrama in  
brain science and that is helpful.

So what I am sharing to our community are some of the really  
interesting integration of learning quotes from some
of the students.

One amazing student is Lakota from Pine Ridge and she talked about  
psychodrama as being very similar to the
Lakota sacred practices and medicine.

Very interesting and rich and difficult class.
Difficult because I set the bar very high this time.
