[Dr Kate Hudgins]

Adam Blatner is always encouraging me to share with the community the  
success of TSM in the world, so here is a bit of news.  Kate

Kate Hudgins, Ph.D., TEP is hosting 7 professors of psychology in her  
home this week.  They are all advanced students in TSM and will be  
coming to meet Zerka and do a workshop with her.  Kate has provided a  
traditional chinese medicine doctor as their translator and set up  
appointments at the University of Virginia for them to meet with  
clinical psychologists there.

Kate returns to China for a month April 15- May 20 to conduct 4 TSM  
workshops.  There will be a Personal Growth workshop in both Beijing  
and Shanghai where over 100 people are expected for each workshop.   
She will then go to Huaqiao University in Southern China to conduct  
her seminal workshop on Containment:  The Key to Safety with Action  
Methods.  Kate will be a visiting professor at Huaqiao University  
starting in the Fall of this year.  Finally, Kate returns to Nanjing  
to conduct a Leadership and Directing group for Level 3 students.   
TSM China is growing by leaps and bounds and will be opening a  
Training Institute this Fall in Beijing.

Kate is starting two joint ventures with Chinese colleagues.  TSM  
China will market and develop all Therapeutic Spiral Model workshops  
and Action Solutions China will brand, market and develop the  
business applications of TSM.  Look for a big media campaign starting  
the summer.

Kate is also presenting her work for the first time in Japan for the  
IAGP Pacific Rim conference also in October.  She will conduct a  
personal growth workshop privately for psychologists and  
psychodramatists and then present a one-day preconference workshop on  
using TSM with bullying, which is a major problem in Japanese middle  
schools.

Her book "Experiential Treatment of PTSD:  THe THerapeutic Spiral  
Model (Springer 2002) will be translated by the Ministry of Education  
for the large (5000 people) psychology conference in Beijing in  
October 2008.  Kate and her team of Professors Ruby Shi, Sang Zqhain,  
and Deng Xuloung will conduct a two day pre-conference workshop  
followed by several TSM workshops.

Currently, Kate is working on her 3rd book;  "The Therapeutic Spiral  
Model:  Stories from the Front Lines".  It will also be translated by  
the Department of Education in China, only their 2nd book on  
psychodrama!  It is a wonderful book that brings together TSM  
practitioners from around the world.  Authors from Australia, Canada,  
Mainland China, Taiwan and the USA share their experience of using  
TSM in individual therapy, group and family therapy and workshop  
applications.  They describe their work with eating disorders,  
addiction, domestic violence, and attachment.   The book begins with  
a chapter on the neurobiology of violence by Ed Hug.  A chapter by  
Les Greenbergy, the best known researcher on experiential therapy in  
the world and a chapter from Zerka Moreno on her life and work make  
the book a very valuable contribution to the psychodrama field.  The  
book includes research on TSM teams, the therapeutic alliance and  
healing domestic violence.
