How wonderful! I am assuming you are writing this, is that correct,
Friederike? Linda

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
