working in prisons

[Edward Schreiber]

There is an amazing Zerka Story that our wonderful sister/colleague  
Marcia Karp told me:

Zerka was invited to go to demonstrate psychodrama in a large prison.
She walks in, there is some reaction I am sure.
She takes off her coat, and shows then she has one arm -
she says to the group:  This is my disability, what's yours?

Humanize, equalize, normalize:  we each have to find our autonomous  
healing center within us,
that's the task.
