Keywords:
moreno, psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, psychological and social integrationAbstract
This article focuses on Moreno’s contributions to the fields of individual and group
psychotherapy through the development of psychodrama and sociodrama. The author
stresses the importance of integrating all social and neurological sciences within Moreno’s
theories and methods. He sees the future of Moreno’s heritage in a creative and systematic
use of all the tools developed in line with the understanding of individuals and societies.
The 21st century could see the Morenean philosophy enhanced by a common effort of
every field and science toward the well-being of every subgroup within the greater Society
and entire Cosmos.
