When Moreno says that our subject of inquiry is nothing less than healing the whole of
mankind, he challenges us to embrace differences. This article explores diversity, and
describes using complementary sharing in a forced choice action sociogram. This technique
enhances the diversity and cohesion of the group by helping the participants discover the
wisdom of those not chosen.
