"The Quintessential Zerka" documents the origins and development of
the theory and practice of psychodrama, sociometry and group
psychotherapy through the work and innovation of its co-creator,
Zerka Toeman Moreno.
This comprehensive handbook brings together history, philosophy,
methodology and application. It shows the pioneering role that
Zerka, along with her husband J.L. Moreno, played in the
development, not only of the methods of psychodrama and sociometry,
but of the entire group psychotherapy movement worldwide. It
demonstrates the extent to which Zerka's intuitive and intellectual
grasp of the work, combined with her superb ability to organize and
synthesize, continue to exert an influence on the field. Toni
Horvatin and Edward Schreiber have selected articles that span a
career of some sixty years, from Zerka's very first publication to
recent, previously unpublished, work. Personal anecdotes and poetry
from Zerka herself provide a valuable context for each individual
article. The selection includes:
- Psychodrama, Its Relation to Stage, Radio and Motion
Pictures
- Psychodramatic Rules, Techniques and Adjunctive Methods
- Beyond Aristotle, Breuer and Freud: Moreno's Contribution to the
Concept of Catharsis
- Psychodrama, Role Theory and the Concept of the Social Atom
This book provides a rich source of insight and inspiration for all
those interested in the history, development and practice of
psychodrama, sociometry and group psychotherapy, whatever their
level of experience. It will be of interest to anyone involved in
the fields of psychology, counseling, sociology, social work,
education, theatre, or human relations.
