This volume contains all the extant published and unpublished writings by Daniel J. Wiener and indicated co-authors on RfG outside the book Rehearsals for Growth (W. W. Norton, 1994). It is current through through April, 2004 and has been compiled in order to provide convenient access to RfG scholarship. The more recent of these writings reflect a number of significant developments in the ten years since publication of Rehearsals for Growth: the introduction of the Dramaturgic Model; the development of eight RfG techniques for interpersonal relationship assessment; training of other RfG practitioners; and a broadened application of RfG to other populations.
