Carol, to be kind I'll say that I do respect your need to pigeon hole everything, to miss the forest for the individual trees. I never said Gestalt is psychodrama. I said it's more or less psychodrama, the getting in touch with emotions that's the key to getting past stuff. How someone gets in touch is not the important part, whether it's through writing or something physical or however it's done. But, you think the inner child is a notion, so that's fine too, you're entitled to your opinion. This is getting tiresome, especially your high and mighty tack. Did you ever consider that ordering someone (and not doing it playfully) to put away their toys is taking the parental position, which is the adapted child that I think Eric Berne speaks of? > [Original Message] > From: Carol Kirschenbaum <carolkir@xxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 5/15/2006 3:24:56 PM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Tune and Turn Off - Panic Attacks > > Gestalt is more or less psychodrama.
