role reversal mid feb

Thu Mar 26 19:38:27 CDT 2009

Dear Adam,

Yes it went quite well. The video of discussing and demonstrating role  
reversal was put online - and I have embedded it into our web site at  
under DVD demonstration of role reversal . Having the capacity to do  
things like this is pretty remarkable.

After about 15 minutes of it going live to air/internet I made myself  
available on a web chat place set up by the conference people. A few  
people asked me some very sensible questions and I had to limit my  
response to a readable chunk and not rattle on for too long. It  
finished with someone asking me for a connection in western Australia.  
Some of the other sessions were actual live recordings from a  
conference I was present at. I think the organisers felt it went well.  
The money from the conference went to Kids Help Line or similar and  
they raised about $30,000.

When I see what I said and did I slightly cringe but think it is al  
OK. The one major difference that wont show on the video is that I  
have now had a hair cut. After 5 years with a pony-tail.

As for getting more responses into conferences. I would suggest that  
the ASGPP Executive take it as a task to co-ordinate psychodrama  
presentation responses at significant "other" conferences.

Cheers

Peter
