Abstract

I am glad to submit a brief comment on Moreno's First Book on Group Psychotherapy from the background of Burrow's psychoanalytic studies. The core of the book, written 25 years ago, proposes transforming a prison into a socialized community by selecting individuals through spontaneity tests and various forms of personality recordings, and assigning them to functional units. These interrelationships were to make possible a group therapy in which the problems of individuals would be spontaneously submitted to the regulating influences of the group itself.
