SPONTANEITY

Abstract

This pithy volume is a treasure trove of the thoughts of J. L. Moreno just as he stood on the cusp of originating psychodrama. It contains some of Moreno's most famous utterances and much of his bedrock philosophy. I initially drafted this essay to preface a proposed revised edition of Moreno's book; here, I look back on the horizon of its writing.
