Ed, the sociometrists and trainers in Australia and New Zealand have been working sociatrically for many years, particularly as they focus on aboriginal and Maori relations and the impact of settlement of these countries. They have been applying Morenean principles for several decades.  These road maps were not written by Moreno but by persons practicing his philosphy and approaches to connect with constructive and destructive forces within the global family during periods of "national expansion" into settled cultures.  You and I are not the pioneers but we inherit and benefit greatly from the courageous explorers of Moreno's vision.  Check out some of the theses written by persons certified through the ANZPA certifying process.

    What a great discussion about re-visioning sociometry.


  The point here for me is that sociometry as we know it, and practice it, is a small section of the larger
  world view for the humanity Dr. Moreno was thinking about.  As we go forward with our work here,
  researching published and unpublished material by Moreno, I am struck with the potential for a larger application of sociometry, to 
  the global family as one group, looking at large sociometric structures, like the sociodynamic effect affecting all of humanity and 
  all sentient beings.  The latest edition of National Geographic, a special on Climate Change, gives a clear view of how 
  these forces of human society are playing out.  These are the forces the quotes noted below speak to in my view.


  This is a pioneering effort we are engaged in here, bringing sociometry to sociatry.  It is uncharted, although we have a few dozen 
  road maps.  These road maps, all written by Moreno, point us to things: formulas and codes for sociatry.  Some of these formulas and codes
  are math based and luckily we are having an grad intern starting with us in the fall who is a math skilled mind.  The formulas and codes seem
  to suggest either new sociometric tools or new ways to apply the action structures of sociometry, sociodrama, axiodrama, psychodrama.  


  All this will be coming with me to Granada Spain where I will be addressing this with the Academy in May.  There is much to report as we 
  go along in addressing the global opportunity for renewal.


  Much thanks for all this,


  Ed
