videoconferencing storytelling

There is a special thrill to reversing roles, for example, when participants are on 
opposite sides of the globe. Of course, videoconferenced psychodrama (telepresent 
psychodrama) will be different from physically-present psychodrama -- not as rich in some 
ways, but also offering new facets.  This is true about videoconferencing in general, and 
about storytelling, and drama (with actors in various locations) via videoconferencing 
also.

       Adam: Eric is now in India and also works with story-telling. Considering the 
practice of "open sessions," and the desire for sociatry, and other variables, I am trying 
to open my mind to this. Another block is the problem of "confidentiality"---lost in the 
electronic space, but then again, attenuated (at least) in open sessions, so then, is it 
okay?  What can be done to mitigate this ethical constraint?

     Just to get us thinking, I thought I'd pass this comment along. Warmly, Adam  (whose 
son is encouraging him to use camera and skype to communicate with grandchildren---and it 
will doubtless happen)
