Abstract

Zerka Moreno stated clearly at the Third International Congress of Group Psychotherapy in Milan, 1963, that therapeutic acting in a theatrical play is not psychodrama per se. Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that it was through acting in the Living Newspaper* in the Impromptu Theater, Vienna, 1923, that Barbara was cured of her neurosis by J. L. Moreno and psychodrama was discovered.
