Actionmethods.org is undergoing important transitions.

Ildri Ginn, one of our co-founders, has retired, along with Anne Mapplebeck, our administrator.

The Psychodrama Institute of Boston has closed. And, on December 31, 2008, the Family Institute of Cambridge closed.

Jody, Janet, and Rick are working on future projects with other organizations. Thus, our offerings for 2008-2009 will be limited while we sort out new administrative relationships.

Please check back at this site often to see updates. Or

Suggested readings

Role reversal, doubling, enactment of desired futures and video-feedback are long established effective practices in therapy, consultation and conflict resolution. The practice of seeing inter-personal situations from multiple points of view enhances mutual respect, collaboration and social justice.

This ongoing interest group founded at the Family Institute of Cambridge (MA), familyinstitutecamb.org, gathers people from a variety of professional backgrounds who share an interest in psychodrama, videofeedback, sociometry and related action techniques.

Sociometry offers insights into group structure based on exchanges of invitations into valued roles.

Video feedback enhances the practice of seeing inter-personal situations from multiple points of view as we view ourselves interacting with others important to us.

We come together to pool our skills and resources, offering diverse groups opportunity to experience, practice, and benefit from consultation. These groups include, but are not limited to the psychotherapy community, negotiation trainers, and non-profit human service organizations.
