Role Reversal, etc. (response to Peter H)

[Peter Howie]

Hi Adam,

Good responses! but lunch and a meeting call. 

PH  The other aspect of this model is noticing when a client or trainee is, during their work, in one or other of these stages. For instance confidence fading, energy going down can often indicate the stage of a double and hence doubling is valuable. The stage may only last a moment but it could indicate some form of doubling rather than mirroring or role reversal (which includes mirroring)
>         AB: I think you're saying that doubling is often useful when the protagonist is "losing energy" -- is that so? 
> 
No I am suggesting that the protagonist is actually acting as though they are in the stage of the double - that in the role they are in they are incapable of the things a person who has gone through the stage of the double are capable of - in that role. Its not there in role reversal or taking up other roles. But really a person may have matured past the stage for all practical purposes but when enacting a drama they may be in that stage again. 

Cheers

Peter
