Having a special award may seem like a neat thing to do, but it is another way to split sociometry off from the action methods, as iff it exists apart from the integrative whole as envisioned by Moreno.  Of course you can separate out "techniques" for a structured learning situation, but it is hard to leave out the applied and action part.

Every traumatic event is a sociometric one.  Every warm-up is a sociometric one.  Every psychodrama, role play, sociodrama, bibliodrama, soul drama, etc. has a foundation in the the nature of the interpersonal connections which support the risks taken, the willing acceptance of roles, and sharing from the heart.  Psychodrama is full-circle sociometry.

Let's just keep on, keeping on the soul train of the whole shebang.  Ann Hale

  So what about having an ASGPP award for people who make substantial contributions to advancing sociometry?   I have proposed this recently, and of course folks will need to think about it. But it does seem as if sociometry continues to be given more weight in the last twenty years. Warmly, Adam

          Dear All, 


          As usual Rebecca and Ann have been most articulate on the subject of sociometry.  I would agree that sociometry is best taught in training groups and I weave in the Sociometric Healing Circle as a way to explore how sociometry impacts every relationship that we create.   I also teach the unorthodox and that is intrapersonal and transpersonal sociometry.  I believe that the same sociometric patterns that we create with others we also create within ourselves (part of our self, parts of our physical body, etc) and with transpersonal figures.  It take a long time, maybe a few lifetimes, to really come to accept and be compassionate to all.  We can reject something/someone without anger, resentment, hurt and judgment.  At least I believe that is theoretically possible . I am still working on this myself.
