Sociodrama: Who's in Your Shoes?

Abstract

The publication of the revised and expanded second edition of Sociodrama: Who's in Your Shoes? admirably furthers the work of Jacob L. Moreno, the originator of sociodrama. Theory and practice are never far apart in this thoroughgoing account of the historical precedents and the tenor of the times that led to Moreno's development of sociodrama. In it, professors Sternberg and Garcia are careful to integrate historical and theoretical information about sociodrama with descriptions of how it is conducted. In doing so, they have provided an excellent book that serves both as a guidebook for the practice of sociodrama and as a source book for study and research. In it, we find a strong confirmation of Moreno's early belief in sociodrama's promise for solving problems of human relations.
