I am using the term \u201cAction Explorations\u201d to refer to the use of Moreno\u2019s methods as well as those of many others, along with a number of creative innovators in improvisational drama, drama therapy, drama in education, and other fields. These are folks who delve into simulations and other possible applications of these methods.<\/p>\n
I am beginning to prepare an anthology of non-therapeutic applications of Moreno\u2019s methods. I\u2019m growing in awareness of these\u2014and there are many!\u2014and I think that in the not-to-far-distant future, they may well outnumber applications in psychotherapy. Indeed, although psychotherapy was my \u201chome base\u201d\u2014as it were\u2014 it is no longer true. I have moved away from being helpful one-to-one or even as a group. I\u2019ve been a psychiatrist, M.D., for fifty years, on-and-off, and have achieved status in that role. But I\u2019m not one to sit on my laurels (ha ha), because the applications of simulations\u2014role playing as a kind of simulation-based-learning\u2014 appeals to me. <\/p>\n
I see action explorations as a form of simulations, enhanced by letting the reader in by knowing what\u2019s going on in the minds of the key players; hence: Enhanced Simulations. I also envision these as having applications in business, education, religion, recreation, and many other field. This category will supplement a book I\u2019m preparing and contain supplementary articles about this and related topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
