J L Moreno, the founder of sociodrama and sociometry, is best known for the impact he had on group psychotherapy, out of which he created psychodrama. This is now one of the most important and popular of the `creative′ therapies, practiced throughout the world. The concept of "role"was central to Moreno′s theory and throughout his life he played many himself. In this book, A. Paul Hare and June Rabson Hare describe a man who was, among other things, a psychiatrist, dramatist, theologian, inventor and educator, who made significant contributions in all of these areas in addition to being a major influence on social science and group psychotherapy. This book is a good companion to Rene Marineu's 1989 biography of Dr. Moreno titled "Jacob Levy Moreno: 1889-1974" and a must-read volume for any student of psychodrama and sociodrama as well as others who want to understand this pioneer and his work.
