"curve" of psychodrama

[Adam Blatner]

Hi Bill:  

Hollander, Carl E. (1969). A Process for Psychodrama Training: The Hollander Psychodrama Curve. Denver, CO: Snow Lion Press.

and also:  

a more rudimentary suggestion of the curve may be found on pg. 49 of my 1968 syllabus:

Seabourne, Barbara (@1963; 1968). The role of the auxiliary (pg 49). In H. Blatner (Adam before he changed his name) (Editor), Practical Aspects of Psychodrama: a syllabus. Belmont, CA: Author. 

       Learning about psychodrama, I wrote to everyone I could find. Back then, that was quite a detective process, as Moreno didn't loosen his grip on addresses, so there were no directories. Indeed, my first edition of Acting In in 1973 was the first source for people actually discovering whom to contact and where to contact them for further training! Anyway, Barbara Seabourne generously shared her materials. She had been working with Leon Fine in St. Louis back around 1963 and wrote some practical papers---indeed, at the time, these were the most how-to-do-it materials I had yet found!  That's why I put together these papers, references, etc.---because you couldn't get much of an idea of how to do it from Moreno's books, and only superficially from Zerka's articles on rules, etc.

   warmly, ADam

   You stated in Acting-In that a psychodrama could be visualized by a curve as presented by Barbara Seaborne and Carl Hollander.  What documentation do you have that this was a concept of Barbara Seaborne?
