Editor's Introduction

HOW COULD THE PIONEER of psychodrama and sociometry, of role playing and group psychotherapy, of the modern spontaneous theater, of encounter groups and art therapies, and even of a technique for sound recording- how could someone possessed of so great a creative genius with a seminal influence upon contemporary culture-how could such a man be so poorly understood in his own time? This is the mystery of J. L. Moreno's life.
