Social Atom Theory Revisited
Keywords:
elaborating on the Social Atom TheoryAbstract
Because of the Jack of coherence in Moreno's writings, the theory he produced seems, in certain instances, less a theory and more a collection of musings. Some see his Social Atom Theory (SAT) as one of those cases. In this article, the author provides a more cogent formulation of the SAT, extending Moreno's conceptualization. The author also makes a more convincing theoretical exposition, one more user-friendly and useful.
