Here is an account of a 4 day psychodrama and sociometry training in education and community organizing taken with a large and very diverse group at San Jose State University.

There is a very good TED.com talk regarding what makes people feel good about their work by Dan Ariely.  www.ted.dcom/talks/dan_ariely_asks_what_makes_us_feel _good_about_our_work.html

If so, we would love to hear about it or see what you are drafting or what you are considering?

If you want someone to work with on a research project, perhaps you can find help here.

Or, if you just want to throw some ideas around about what kind of study might be worth doing, maybe you can consider putting some preliminary thoughts out for feedback here.

Or how about this:  what if we draft a short sweet questionnaire that all of us can use, asking clients or group members what reactions they have to psychodrama or sociodramas– and see if we can’t pool our results after a bit of time?  Of course, we would have to design the questions in such a way that the answers are manageable.  But what do you think?  For ideas like this, see heartandsoulofchange.com and the 2 short instruments they suggest.  We would necessarily have to make our own to learn what we want to learn, naturally.

You can find their material and an index at <http://aanzpa.org/journal>.
