acknowledging stress

[Edward Schreiber]

In the Countway Library, at the Harvard School, in the Library of the  
History of Medicine, in the JL Moreno Collection, we found a document  
Moreno typed entitled "Manifesto For the Children's Survival".  In  
that document he described, often in poetic form, this moment in the  
history of human civilization.  This should not surprise any of us,  
after all, his major thesis is entitled, "Who Shall Survive?".  We  
are participating in melt down of the structures of our civilization,  
spreading to every part of our globe.  No one is immune.  On all of  
that, we face the greatest challenge:  the melting ice caps and the  
changing climate.  But we have tools, sociatry, sociodrama,  
psychodrama, sociometry, creativity, formulas, instruments, a method,  
a vision, a direction that a therapeutic procedure must embrace all  
humanity.  This is not easy, nor simple, nor quick.

My suggestion: come to St Louis and let's meet as a community - to  
form a tight web together of what binds us, and what we can bring to  
the world. My experience of late with the ASGPP, of John and Nick has  
been transformative:  inclusion, embracing, inclusion.  As we step to  
our future, on election day - we are faced with the choice of our  
lives.  And we hold a method, more valuable in my feeling and view -  
then the economics we find before us.   Much love,   Ed
