Abstract

Ever since reading Moreno's "Who Shall Survive" in 1938 I have followed bis original and crusading efforts in group psychotherapy with interest and admiration. I am personally indebted to him for an awakening to the crucial problems of group interaction and the individual's emotional integration into the group. In this present paper on "Transference and Tele," true to his enterprising character, Moreno presents a broad challenge to psychotherapists of every school and vintage. He says, in effect, "Let's be big about this. We've got to be. We confront nothing less than the problem of mental health of all humanity. It is high time that we gave up our obsessive brooding over small differences and reached out beyond them for a consensus on the essentials of the psychotherapeutic experience
