Abstract

Moreno's best known and most widely disseminated essay is the 1,200 words that he titled "Psychodrama and Group Psychotherapy." It appeared originally in Sociometry, Vol. IX, 1946. By 1950, the request for reprints had required the publisher, Beacon House, to print 1,000 copies. With minor revisions, Moreno republished it in the 1972 edition of Psychodrama, Vol. I. Meanwhile, Beacon House had printed and distributed over 100,000 of the reprints. The essay remains in demand.
