[Michael Wieser]

and on the other hand a master thesis is going on, Moreno in Mitterndorf.

Oh, yeah, Linda. Your anecdote hinted at your having your students actually get into role, 
imagine what it was like for the different people involved, for Moreno, for one of the 
refugees, etc. -- 
        Might you consider writing up this story in greater detail? It might make a nice 
anecdote for the journal when it gets re-constituted.

      It mixes two issues: Dramatizing a historical event so that the emotions and 
perspectives of those involved, the predicaments and cultural milieu, all could be made 
more vivid in the minds of the students; (i'd like to see history in general taught this 
way in the schools.) Teaching the history of psychodrama this way. Adding a few 
sociodramatic elements (doubling, role shifts, etc.) to further deepen the learning.

Warmly, Adam
