Sociodrama – Resources

SOCDEF.doc

Rory Remer, Ph.D., Department of Educational and Counseling Psychology, University of Kentucky
Abstract: The original formulation of Morenean sociometry has been, for the most part, modified. Consequently, a question arises about the effectiveness of that formulation relative to its derivatives. In this article, I make a delineation between Morenean (strong) sociometry and other adaptationse, aiming at a revitalization of Moreno’s theory.

Psychodrama and Psychotherapy – Resources

This post is just for BOTH psychodrama and psychotherapy – see als Psychodrama – Resources and Psychotherapy – Resources. I’ll add more as I discover more.


A comparison of psychoanalytic and
psychodramatic theory from a
psychodramatist’s perspective
LARS TAUVON

abstract A comparison of Freud’s and Moreno’s theories with regard to their implications
for psychodrama therapy. Basic differences in the theories are discussed with special regard to
therapist role, transference and tele, insight and catharsis, the time concept, the body, and
developmental psychology. Other topics treated are concepts of drive or energy, psychic structure
and role theory, psychic determinism contra the doctrine of spontaneity-creativity and differences
between an intrapsychic and an interpersonal approach. An outline of the relationship of
psychodrama and its philosophy and practice to other schools of psychotherapy is given.

Body posture & technology evolution

Or I could this ergonomics & the evolution of digital tech. The pont is there are positions the humnan body works in that determine the tech. The couch and the desk are important and the hand and the lap are two that are surfacing as very important.

Couch – TV

Desktop – PC and (despite the fantasy) Laptops

Laps – Larger touch devices such as the ipad

Hands – mobile phones PDA etc

They are all screens with input devices etc. They all have software. It is the way we sit and hiold our body that determines the distinction, not the content so much. Made for TV has tech determinants but also suits sitting on the couch in the family space.

I was interested to hear Eric Schmidt talk about the difference between Android and and Chrome OS. It was the mouse and the keyboard in Chrome OS and touch in Android. Apple has software for each as well.

So the distinction is Laps and Hands vs Desktop

Then there is Google and Apple TV – where it optimises their software for Couch.

Windows interestingly has gone strongly for Desktop and now is making another play for the Hand. But with to the lap it integrated touch and the pen into the Desktop software. If it made a new tablet, would it be Windows on arm?

I have a hunch that the distinctions are a temporary phenomena. One fully integrated software could do it all. Why not? I would like to plug my phone into a screen and have my whole digital work open up, with the ability to add voice, TV screens slates, so I could move around and work on the sme stuff as I move around.

Raul Moncayo – Lacan

I’ve been listening to Dr Dave Shrink rap radio interview with Raul Moncayo.  I found the whole thing pleasant.  Yes, weird, but it was pleasant because it resonated with what is in my head a lot of the time, not the same content but the same questions  – the same discourse.  

I also listened to the earlier Wise Counsel podcast, less pleasant but more stimulating.
