Jacob Levy Moreno was to become famous world-wide for the development of the science of sociometry, the technique of psychodrama, and his pioneering work in group psychotherapy. This book examines the story of Moreno's early life in Europe, as well as his years in America. René Marineau draws on his own research in the archives of Vienna, on many personal interviews with people who knew Moreno, and on Moreno's unpublished autobiography to give us a full portrait of this exceptionally gifted man who thought of himself as 'a special case of God'.By revealing the history of Moreno's early life and tracing the story of his early attempts to express powerful intuitions and beliefs, mystical in origin, through activity in literature, theatre, and medicine, the author sets the scene for a better understanding of Moreno's total philosophy.Part One is a fascinating story in which we read of Moreno's childhood games of playing God; his life as a student when he founded his first group – 'The House of Encounter'; his part in the expressionist movement and intellectual circles in post-war Vienna; his first experiments with spontaneous and therapeutic theatre; and, not least, of the liberating influence of his meeting with his first 'muse', Marianne. Part two deals with the years in America, equally productive, when Moreno consolidated his theories, ran his own clinic and publishing house, and with the help of this second 'muse', Zerka, saw many of his bold and unorthodox concepts win acceptance and recognition.Moreno saw his contribution to the well-being of mankind as transcending his technical and theoretical innovations. Ultimately, he saw himself as a visionary and creator, offering human beings a new path to self-fulfillment. His story is of interest not only to psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists, but to anyone interested in understanding the process of genius in the making and the relationship between an individual's personal journey and their legacy to the world. Students studying for certification as a CP or TEP will find this book's advantages to their process.Author, René F. Marineau.
Jacob Levy Moreno (1889-1974) is widely considered one of the most important social scientists of the 20th century, largely for his contributions to social network analysis and psychodrama. Additionally, he was a highly regarded psychiatrist and educator whose considerable influence began in his early days in Eastern Europe and spread to the United States, which he later called home. In this entry, a brief biographical sketch of Moreno's life is provided. Then, his influence on sociometry and psychodrama is examined, and his legacy is considered.
Internationally recognised practitioners of the psychodramatic method discuss the theory and practice of psychodrama since Moreno's death. Key concepts of group psychotherapy are explained and their development illustrated.
J. L. Moreno, M.D., is recognized as the originator of sociometry and psychodrama, and was a prodigious creator of methods and theories of creativity, society, and human behavior. The methods and techniques he authored have been widely adopted; the theories and philosophy upon which the methods are founded have not, as they are frequently couched in language which is not easily understood. Moreno’s ideas about group psychotherapy have pretty well gotten lost, and what he considered his greatest contribution, sociometry, gets paid superficial attention by most psychodramatists . Group psychotherapy and psychodrama are both widely practiced but often based on non-Morenean theory, likely due to the inaccessibility of Moreno’s work. This book outlines Moreno’s early years (his religious phase), the philosophy on which the foundation of his methods are based, and a description of the three major methods Moreno originated: psychodrama, sociometry, and group psychotherapy. It provides a more systematic presentation of Moreno’s work and presents his philosophy and theory clearer, more understandable manner.
This book offers a comprehensive guide to psychodrama, including the underlying philosophy, methodology, theory and applications. Taking readers through the process of staging a psychodrama session, from the contracting phase, exploration and enactment to closure and integration, the book also presents brief short examples to illustrate how to choose the best methodological approach for any context, and describes in detail the various psychodrama techniques and their application in practice, with indications, contraindications, typical pitfalls and FAQs. The book demonstrates that psychodrama is not merely a collection of methods and techniques and that the potential of psychodrama cannot be fully utilized without an in-depth knowledge of its conceptual foundations. With examples from a range of practices, it shows the broad applicability of psychodrama in therapeutic and non-therapeutic contexts alike, e.g. in educational contexts (school and adult education), social work, organization development, coaching and many other fields. This easy-to-read book uses jargon-free language and will appeal to psychotherapy researchers and practitioners, as well as non-therapeutic professionals like human resource consultants and life coaches. This is a translated and revised edition of the best-selling German book Psychodrama: Grundlagen (Springer, 2014, 3rd edition).
Doctoral Dissertation, University of California, Berkeley, 1995ABSTRACT: Jacob Moreno, MD (1889-1974) is known today as the founder of psychodrama, which he defined as "the science which explores the 'truth' by dramatic methods." This dissertation investigates Moreno primarily as a theatre artist. It starts with a philosophical analysis of the concepts of acting, improvisation and spontaneity and then consolidates the elements of Moreno's theory of the nature and function of theatre, which are dispersed throughout his writings and have never been thoroughly collected in one place. It also examines how Moreno discovered the healing power of drama while he directed his Theatre of Spontaneity in Vienna 1920s and in New York 1930s. The appendix contains Moreno's earliest theatrical text, The Godhead as Comedian, translated for the first time in its entirety from the 1919 German edition.

Beginning with a discussion of the intrinsic nature of psychodrama and providing the reader with a thorough description of the psychodramatic method, this book navigates the nature, applications, theories, and practices of the techniques originated by J. L. Moreno. The book covers the work of the psychodrama pioneer in the field of mental health and discourse on his techniques. Methods of handling situations and scenarios that frequently arise in psychodrama sessions are described and amply illustrated with examples from actual psychodramas. The existential philosophy upon which psychodrama is founded, Moreno’s Doctrine of Spontaneity-Creativity, and the theories important to understanding psychodrama are all discussed. The final chapter is devoted to the life and work of J. L. Moreno. This book will be of great interest to psychodramatists, drama therapists, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals who use the psychodramatic method in counseling and training programs.
