role play

[neil]

Hello Adam, Neil Hucker in Melbourne here.
I have now got more time to respond to discussions even a message as old as 
this one. I will follow it up with the link to Greg Ford.
I have put in an application to present the Morenian perspective on Role 
Playing at the RANZCP conference this year as a way to get Psychodrama and 
group therapy back on the table, at least for Australian psychiatry.
This workshop will entail me coming up to speed with other theories of role 
and roleplaying/behaviour simulation as I return to the lion's den.
To save me time do you have any references that would help me access the 
range of current theory and practice about roles and role playing apart from 
Greg.
If anyone else reading this could contribute references I would be very 
grateful.
Thanks for keeping the talking going.
