Psychodrama on "20/20"

[Dr Kate Hudgins]

Colleen Baratka is back at Renfrew now.  The Therapeutic Spiral Model  
is the model of psychodrama that is used at Renfrew and has been for  
years now.  I have gotten her connected to some doctors at the 6th  
hospital in Beijing who want to come visit Renfrew and they are very  
excited. I did a TSM workshop for them in November and we are  
contracted to continue to develop TSM team at the hospital this  
year.  This is supposed to be the best and most famous psychiatric  
facility in China and the doctors are very well trained there,  
including some from Harvard and other USA big leagues.

FYI, Kate
