Moreno's psychodrama is a technique of training and of group therapy which obeys the laws of sociometry. At the beginning of his career, Moreno as Freud, found himself in a transcultural position which allowed him to better observe the "classical occidental individual" captive of his stereotypal "Tinned culture". The psychodrama aims to the liberation of the human being alienated in his individuality thus giving him back a creative and relational spontaneity owing to the cathartic value of the collective game and drama (taken is its etymological sense). The new American society, issued from the old Europe, allowed him to practise his theoretical conceptions of sociometry. If the Psychodrama is a method of remarkable efficiency in the training of dynamic psychology of groups, its therapeutics indications must be given with the greatest caution, in order to be at any time under medical control, specifically psychiatric control.
莫雷诺的心理剧是一种遵循社会测量学规律的训练和团体治疗技术。在其职业生涯初期,莫雷诺如同弗洛伊德一样,处于一种跨文化的立场,这使他能够更好地观察受刻板“罐装文化”束缚的“经典西方个体”。心理剧旨在解放被个体性所异化的人,通过集体游戏和戏剧(取其词源意义)的宣泄价值,使其重新获得创造性和关系上的自发性。源自旧欧洲的新美国社会,使他能够实践其社会测量学的理论概念。如果说心理剧在团体动力心理学训练中是一种效率显著的方法,那么其治疗指征必须极其谨慎地给出,以便随时处于医学控制之下,特别是精神病学控制之下。
