Trauma, van der Kolk and psychodrama

[Edward Schreiber]

Dear Colleagues,
I had dinner tonight with a psychologist out here in Western Mass.   
She is in private practice, but worked in a clinic serving  
traumatized kids
and families for many years.  In any case, she was concerned about a  
conference she recently attended in the Hartford, CT area, in which
Dr. Van der Kolk as the keynote speaker.  Interestingly enough, he  
mentioned yoga and "theater" as helpful in the resolution of trauma.   
This
colleague has known of our method for some time so she raised in  
front of 300 people the question to him, about the work of J.L.  
Moreno and
psychodrama.  This conference was a few months ago.  Dr. Van der Kolk  
resolutely announced psychodrama as counter-indicated for the
treatment of trauma, suggesting abreactive nature of the method, as  
he experienced it some time ago, makes the situation worse for  
traumatized
patients.

Does anyone know how to reach him, what we might do to address this  
with him?  Does anyone have a connection with him and why might he
be saying this - around the country - about psychodrama?
