Wtrlt: Google Alert for psychodrama

[Adam Blatner]

Yeah, Michael (in Austria), thanks. This article : http://washingtonindependent.com/3300/beyond-catharsis-the-convention-as-psychodrama    illustrates what I note at the bottom of my paper on my website, about Historical Distortions of Psychodrama, near the end of the page, about popular distortions. 
     http://www.blatner.com/adam/pdntbk/histdistort.htm

   this article, though, was an especially egregious example, mocking via extreme psychobabble, a major event. Of course psychoanalytic-ese can be used (and, alas, has been so used) for all sorts of things beyond the clinical setting, and the satire is partly deserved. Many people use obscure language when they don't need to. Postmodernist literary criticism and related folks also use obscure language. Some jargon is needed, much is not.

    One of the things I like about use of role as a basis for a user friendly language is that it's more down-to-earth. 

          Warmly, ADam
