Abstract

One of the pitfalls which may be expected from multiple terminology is that schools or academic empires will develop around them or will be fostered by them. While it is true that all "versus". have two sides, in the area of human arts and sciences there are some other pertinent aspects inherent in the idea of "Group Training vs. Group Therapy" which deserve our Consideration in thought and in action. Moreno has pioneered the unity of the human arts and sciences; a project which may never be completed (1); however, if we follow his example of accentuating those things which we have in common rather than those things in which we differ, we will very likely move much more quickly and accurately in the direction of truth. We are living in an age in which the very existence of man is being challenged (2), a fact which we have in common with earlier ages, and, as in the past, an idea has arisen or evolved to meet the challenge. Today group psychotherapy particularly appears to hold great hope for meeting the challenge to our existence.1
