TRAGEDYAbstract
Why "Tragedy AND Triumph?" They are the only aspects in mankind's history that are relevant to the development of the triad of Moreno's work in the first decade of the Twentieth Century in Vienna and then in the United States-Psychodrama, Sociodrama and Sociometry. Since Moreno's arrival in 1925, these methods have been developing in this order: THE FUNDAMENTAL WORKS pointed the way, Group Psychotherapy (1931); Who Shall Survive (1934)-A New Approach to Human Inter-Relations, intertwining sociometry, psycho-socio-drama and group psychotherapy-the three pillars of the triad reflecting the intensive action in thought, research, training and therapy of the needs of the "American Scene."
