writing requirements

Mon Aug 17 08:23:31 CDT 2009

As far as I know, at present the Board has no requirements for any written work. This might make for an interesing socio-axiodrama at the conference, or at least a conversation hour. As I said below, the loss of our journal is due more to the dearth of submissions than to the low membership. 

Anath mentioned that Zerka used to ask for a thesis for certification. If this is so, it would be useful to dig those up and perhaps polish them up, update them, and post them on some website or, if we ever get around to re-starting a journal, submitting them for consideration.   

   Warmly, Adam

  Anath,

  Thanks for sharing that tid bit.  I didn't know that, and I'm not sure if the ABE still requires it.  

  Would be nice to find out as we try to relaunch the journal.

  Thanks,

  Jen Reis

  Dear Adam,
    Interestingly ,at the point in time when  I was in  training  in Beacon,a new requirement for graduation was introduced:  a  written a thesis to be submitted or  acceptance  by J.L,which if accepted would be   published in the Journal.  Most thesis needed  extra work to pass Moreno's approval.but once accepted were published .A pity  that requirement was discontinued as it would've   continued to serve as a good   introduction of new PD directors to the community ,plus  a possibility to enrich the literature by new insights/inputs.Were it not for the requirement my article on "the tretment of a stutterer through Psychodrama "would have never saw the light. 
  I distinctly remember grumbling about "cultural conserves" required....
