attachment theory and psychodrama

[Ann Hale]

Thank you for supplying this reference. I will pursue gettng a copy.  As a psychodramatist and trainer the connection which is perceived and formed (the relationship) is at the core of the work for me., and most likely all psychodramatists. Role theory and analysis, access to roles, group position related to roles and choice-making activity within the self and the group is all part of the structure I have for understanding what is going on.   I have recently accepted the challenge inherent in Daniel J. Siegel's work and in Moreno's vision, to see into the other. Siegel goes so far as to see into the mind of the other, letting what we know about the way we are "wired" (neural circuitry) extend us toward each others world view and bring acceptance, authenticity, receptivity, compassion and kindness into the relationship and create a coherent relationship.  I am curious about how understanding of attachment can help me have more flexibility and openness or help me find sufficient detachment to reflect and sense more fully what is going on.  
That is what is driving this question for me, and the guidance you have given helps me remember the root of "the self emerges from the roles" and find ways to link theories we find helpful. Thank you. Ann Hale

  Hi Ann and grouptalkers

  I wrote my paper on attachment and psychodrama in 2007 and found the above reference very helpful to my thinking about attachment in adults.  Dallos identifies 'attachment strategies' which I relate to 'roles' - for me this is a more flexible construction than 'attachment styles' - it allows for different strategies in different contexts - and also is more positive in relation to capacity to change.  I found this approach easier to align with psychodrama theory than a styles classification system, as elicited by AAI.

  Cheers
