Abstract

In 1968, as a criminologist at Indiana State University, and as a student of the Moreno Academy, I organized a small psychodrama group for interested students or faculty. We met weekly in a small auditorium. Half the group of twenty were assorted Hippie and S.D.S. types, and the others more straight science and humanities majors. These sessions dealt with problems related to dating, parental relations, dormitory problems, fights and drinking, petty crime, etc. Other sessions dealt with more social themes such as: race problems, indecision on whether to march against Dow Chemical recruiters, anger against the University administration, the boyfriend who
blows Grass, etc.
