Who shall survive?, by J.L. Moreno. It is impossible to do justice to this interesting and challenging piece of work within the limits of a review. To get its full meaning, to see the tremendous importance, one needs not only to read it carefully and give it thoughtful study, but to actually apply some of his tests, as the reviewer did, and to watch their working out within a group. Then it becomes apparent that here really is a method of observation of group reactions, or rather the reactions of individuals within the group, which not only throws light upon the personalities composing the group, but can aid in the arranging of people in communities so as to avoid a great part of the frictions and antagonisms which are the roots of much of our social disorder. http://www.amazon.com/

The who you dream yourself, by Val Richards. The author examines the relationship between psychotherapy and the theatre, as underpinned by Winnicott's writings, Jung's ideas on self, the writings of Lacan and the prose, drama, and poetry of Yeats - an unusual blend between diverse and often opposing schools of thought.

Part two looks at the "struggle between masks," which are used as a metaphor for self and the representation of self. Part Three looks at signs and times by showing that space and linear time are one and indivisible: disturbance in one means disturbance in the other.

The Theatre of Truth, by Eberhard Scheiffele. It starts with a philosophical analysis of the concepts of acting, improvisation and spontaneity and then consolidates the elements of Moreno's theory of the nature and function of theatre, which are dispersed throughout his writings and have never been thoroughly collected in one place. This allows a critical comparison with two dramatic theorists who anticipated some of Moreno's ideas: Aristotle from whom he adapted the concept of catharsis and Goethe whom he saw as a forerunner of both therapy through drama and spontaneous production. Analyzing the dramatic and artistic way Moreno wrote and acted, I conclude that he was at heart a theatre person. http://www.amazon.com/

Words of the Father, by Jacob Levy Moreno. Written in 1920 and translated in 1941, Das “Testament des Vaters” is one of the basic books in Moreno’s theory and philosophy. To this day this is one of the most fascinating that Moreno wrote. Fascinating because of the philosophy that he preached, a philosophy odf co-responsibility and co-creativity. Also fascinating because of the way it was written, being like a child, needing the presence of a mother and a midwife. If we read this book as an expression of the philosophy of the cosmos, we find in it the concepts of the Moreno’s future theories: surplus reality, spontaneity, co-creation, creation as an ongoing process, “encounter” of I and You as the basis for significant meetings.

The Autobiography of J.L. Moreno, M.D. The Autobiography of J.L. Moreno is maybe one of the less well known Moreno texts, as previously it has only been published in small numbers and less widely circulated than the other key Moreno books. This abridged version of the autobiography was first edited together by Moreno’s son, Jonathan, and published in the ASGPP Journal of Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy in 1989. As all autobiographies, this book also offers interesting insight into the life of the father of psychodrama, covering his early years in Romania and Vienna, as well as his later life in the USA. An interesting a helpful additional reading to all interested in psychodrama and the philosophical ideas underpinning it. Lulu Publishing. http://www.lulu.com/
To dream Again, by Zerka T. Moreno.This book portrays Zerka's development and experiences that molded her, and made her receptive to Moreno's ideas at a time when this was not generally the case. Zerka's life before she met Moreno occupies the first part of this book. The second part relates the highlights of this unusual partnership and her life after his death. The final portion of this book addresses Zerka's subsequent life and many of her worldwide journeys. Moreno was once heard to declare, "I had the ideas, Zerka was the tool." The focal point of this Memoir is not to describe who Zerka was to J.L., but to share it with the world. "This is a story about a woman who is a legendary figure, not only in psychodrama, but in the overall field of psychotherapy. http://www.amazon.com/
Psychodrama - Third volume, by J.L. Moreno. His writing, like the method he pioneered, is rich and complex. Many students, practitioners and participants have encountered Moreno’s work in action; however, fewer people may have had the opportunity to read and think about the ‘words of the father’ due to the limited availability of key texts. A desire to ensure Moreno’s work is available to the widest possible audience inspired members of the North West Psychodrama Association to work together to re-publish the books in this series. We hope by doing so J. L. Moreno’s words will continue to reverberate across time and space: inspiring new generations of practitioners to be as creative and spontaneous as is possible.

Preludes to my Autobiography, by J.L. Moreno. This text was first published as a prelude to the 1953 complete edition of Who Shall Survive?, under the title ‘Preludes of the sociometric movement’. Two years later, in 1955 it was published as a stand-alone text in No.34 of the Sociometry Monographs, this time with the title ‘Preludes to my autobiography: Introduction to Who Shall Survive?’. Then in 1989 it was re-printed by Beacon House simply as ‘Preludes to my autobiography’. We hope it will be a helpful addition to both Moreno’s recently re-published autobiography, as well as his other publications on sociometry. Lulu Printings, http://www.lulu.com/
