Introduction

Abstract

WHEN I WAS FIRST ASKED to edit the papers that comment on Jacob Moreno's autobiography, I was puzzled. Why ask me? I searched for an answer. Then I recalled my great professor, Gardner Murphy, who felt that there was merit in parapsychology. Early in my professional training, he brought Moreno to the City College of New York-in what I call its "golden days"-so that Jake could demonstrate to a group of psychologists what he was doing and why he was doing what he was doing. Later, Zerka Moreno was a student of mine at New York University. Was ESP at work? I decided that there must be messages that were not as yet clear to me, and I accepted the invitation to edit.
