Yes, it is possible to engage even larger groups. In the group therapy
movement this is also called "taming the tiger", because a hundred or
more interacting people can hurt the moderator quite decisively without
ever touching him or her...
My own experience with teaching psychotherapeutical diagnostics is
written up in the self-comment for the symposium in MCA 1 (1/2) 1994,
pp 90 f. We used a specially produced video, and loosely structured
discussion with back-reports from the discussion groups. And, of course,
role playing, psychodramatic tools, etcetera...
More fun and fascination (f&f) into lectures, yes !
