Psychodrama

http://h2o.law.harvard.edu/ViewProject.do?projectID=553

This website is support for a course at Harvard University (h2o) in Psychodrama. There is a technique where working with memories of things past can produce individuation. (Thinking twice, that theory is mine. Oh well, such is life.)

Memorium

Memoriam

The correct spelling of the Latin phrase is “in memoriam.”

Here is one of the most obnoxious (delightfully) influences of my childhood. If I knew now what I knew then, perhaps I'd think twice. Maybe not.

"Folksinger Katie Lee created a sub-genre all her own--the Freudian folksong--and contributed two much-coveted albums to the archives of Space Age Pop. Life is Just a Bed of Neuroses, arranged and conducted by Ray Martin, and Songs of Couch and Consultation, arranged and conducted by Bob Thompson offer a selection of her original tunes on the struggles and psyches of modern folks: "The Ballad for Group Therapy," "Don'tville," "Shrinker Man," "Repressed Hostility Blues."

Lee herself appears to have struggled with a slight case of multiple personality disorder. After graduating from the University of Arizona with a BFA, she studied with two of the most successful folk singers of the 1940s, Burl Ives and Josh White. Hitting the streets a decade before Peter, Paul, and Mary, she found the market for folk singers wanting, and ended up working summer stock theater instead. Her luck with acting proved a little better, and she went on to work in radio on such shows as "The Halls of Ivy," "The Railroad Hour," and "The Great Gildersleeve." She continued to develop her singing, though, and became one of the early regulars at clubs like the Hungry i and the Gates of Horn."

Shrinker man

"Hush little sibling, close your eyes.

Mummy will have you analyzed.

Daddy found something very new,

We're gonna try it out on you.

The lullaby is one of a dozen Songs of Couch and Consultation (Commentary Records) beguilingly warbled over her own guitar playing by Nightclub Singer Katie Lee. With lyrics by Bud Freeman, a sometime movie press-agent and independent recordmaker, the disk is an eminently amusing spoof of the nation's taste in song and psychoanalysis. As the album opens, Katie is heard applying to a head-shrinker:

Shrinker man, shrinker man,

Set me right if you can.

Align me, tune me, normalize me,

Clean me up and Simoniz me.

It soon becomes plain that her beloved is in need of treatment, too, but Katie is afraid he may never be the same again. To a romantic tango tune, she sings:

I love your streak of cruelty, your

psychopathic lies, The homicidal tendencies shining in

your eyes.

Don't change your psychic structure,

Weird as it may be . . .

Stay darling, stay, way under par . . .

Stay as sick as you are."

Bud Freeman
