This clinical project introduces a guide to provide the interviewer with a methodological systems approach for information gathering in the life review process. The guide is structured in such a way as to elicit positive life events for the purpose of enhancing a sense of well-being as well as to elicit negative life events to encourage the client to address unresolved loss-grief issues. In effect, the Life Review Interview Guide serves to promote high self-esteem and to assist the interviewee through the grieving process. In addition, the Guide assisted the student-interviewer in formulating and selecting a wide range of questions.

The Joint Advanced Warfighting Program (JAWP) began its work by reviewing prior military experimentation efforts, surveying ongoing activities (primarily of the Services), and examining the tools available. From these early efforts we developed a set of ideas about what would constitute an effective program of experimentation. These ideas were honed over several months in discussions among the JAWP staff and in conversations with the US Joint Forces Command (formerly US Atlantic Command), other unified commands, the Joint Staff, the Services, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.At the same time, the JAWP began to develop exemplar operational concepts and to think through the joint experimentation required to learn how to make them work. One of these concepts, Attack Operations Against Critical Mobile Targets, was selected by the US Joint Forces Command to be the first joint experiment. At their request, the JAWP led the development of the concept and executed the associated experiment. The experience pushed our thinking about experimentation beyond the theoretical, and made it possible to generate a more thoughtful discussion of joint warfighting experimentation-what it is (and isn't), why it's needed, why it won't be easy, and how it can be done effectively.There are alternative views on how to do joint experimentation. The view we espouse is of concept-based experimentation as a disciplined process of discovery, in which most of the real learning takes place in venues other than big field activities, and there is as much value from creative military people deducing "what might be" as there is in measuring what happened.Comments and questions are invited and should be directed to Joint Advanced Warfighting Program ATTN: Jim Kurtz
