MORENO'S DISCUSSION OF:EHRENWALD'S DIALOGUE PSYCHOANALYST VS. PSYCHODRAMATIST

Abstract

The brilliant and humorous author of this dialogue, Jan Ehrenwald, is in an awkward position: he has practiced psychoanalysis but he has never attended a psychodramatic session much less practiced it. He may play the part of the psychoanalyst but how can he play the part of the psychodramatist without bias? He is apparently well acquainted with psychonanalytic literature but he is poorly acquainted with psychodramatic writings. How can he make a fair historical comparison of the two positions?
