Abstract

The similarities between Kurt Lewin's work in action and group research and my own has been so striking that many have wondered what kind of interdependence there is between Lewin and myself. Moreover, many of Lewin's students have also been my students, writing articles published in Sociometry and Sociatry since 1938, on subjects with which I have been widely identified, sociometric methods, dynamics of group structure, sociodrama and roleplaying, psychodrama and role training, etc. After I had initiated them they began to write similar articles for other journals and in books, having the stamp of my thought.
