I am blessed because I have some sense of what I can do to help, what might be my own contribution: I have discovered ways to amplify our creative potential. Others have preceded me, it must be acknowledged (such as J. L. Moreno), and others as saying something like this, but no others that I know of are talking about the broad applications of developing creatively collaborative group processes, synthesized with improvisational enactments, and fueled by imagination-utilizing techniques.<\/p>\n
This synthesis has many aspects: Of course I do lots of other stuff that is also good stuff, more or less: I keep myself going and support my beautiful, intelligent wife; we make a home, maintain our lives. I am kind and friendly to family and friends. I dance and sing and teach and do other stuff. Indeed, that may be more what I\u2019m remembered for, but I myself think the aforementioned list is my core way of helping the BE be born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am blessed because I have some sense of what I can do to help, what might be my own contribution: I have discovered ways to amplify our creative potential.

\nWe use role dynamics<\/em> as a user-friendly language for psycho-social development. Based on social role theory, role dynamics is a systematic way of applying these ideas.
\nApply also sociometry<\/em> (the method) and other ways of heightening the awareness of interpersonal and group dynamics\u2014a field that\u2019s full of scores if not hundreds of sub-dynamics.
\nPromote the art of group leadership that draws on social-depth-psychology principles, helping people to choose their teammates rather than having to work in groups that are assigned by superiors on some arbitrary criterion.
\nPromote the application of improvised drama and psychodramatic techniques<\/em> in many areas beyond psychotherapy.
\nPromote imagination development<\/em>, various ways of helping redeem their faith in themselves to dare to imagine, practice that skill. It\u2019s one of the components of creativity.
\nSupport the theoretical basis<\/em> of all this.
\nSupport group activities that involve dancing, singing, doing art together, warm-up or spontaneity drama games, and so forth\u2014activities that allow for mistakes and group support for doing it better.
\nPracticing \u201ccheerful-ing<\/em>\u201d whether the feeling is there to begin with or not. It\u2019ll get there.
\n… etc.<\/p>\n
