The Philosophy Theory and Methods of J. L. Moreno

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. Morenoâs 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 Morenoâs work. This book outlines Morenoâs 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 Morenoâs work and presents his philosophy and theory clearer more understandable manner. . Language: English
