Looking for Leadership: Celebrating Daimon in a Context of Worldwide Urgency for Social Action and Change

Authors

J.L. Moreno, Daimon, Who Shall Survive?, psychodrama, sociodrama

While celebrating the 100 years since the first publication of the magazine Daimon, we

take time to evaluate the present state of Moreno’s legacies. In spite of Moreno’s hope for a

geater dissemination of his ideas and methods, we must acknowledge that his views are in

the forefront of actual politics and social values. We need to find a new and clear leadership

to foster the philosophy, first found in Daimon, and later in Who Shall Survive? Can we

meet the challenges?
