CONTROVERSY

Abstract

The presentation of himself as God-the-Father is the most controversial and unsettled aspect of Moreno's life. At conferences and seminars in Beacon, New York, students would ask him if he actually and literally believed himself to be God-the-Father. Moreno would characteristically reply, "But, of course, why should any of us settle for less?"
