The First Book On Group Psychotherapy
J.L. Moreno’s first book on group psychotherapy, is sadly also the last in the series of his newly re-published titles, a project undertaken by the North-West Psychodrama Association in 2010. With the support and encouragement of Zerka T.Moreno, over the past twelve years we have published just as many of Moreno’s seminal works. These span from his early writings about impromptu and spontaneous theatre, through his philosophical and sociometric ideas, his more clinically focused psychodrama psychotherapy concepts jointly formalized with Zerka, to some more biographical titles.

Possibilities and limitations of Psychodrama Online
Manfred Jannicke, Gerda Mävers, Johanna Olberding
In the midst of and out of the pandemic situation in 2020, the psychodramatic world experienced an enormous expansion: all over the world, psychodramatists began to experiment with their method in the virtual space of the internet – with the help of video platforms that enable interpersonal interaction in real time despite lock downs, isolation and distance.
This initiated discussions about the limits and possibilities of psychodramatic online work, ranging from euphoric reactions to the expansion of the spectrum of possibilities to the question of what can still be called psychodrama at all.
In this anthology, practical experiences, methods, insights and tensions regarding online psychodrama are presented and discussed.

Sustainable Hedonism. A Thriving Life that Does Not Cost the Earth
This book calls to explore our collective and personal convictions about success and good life. It challenges the mainstream worldview, rooted in economics, that equates happiness with pleasure, and encourages greed, materialism, egoism and disconnection. Drawing on science and ancient Greek philosophers the author details how we can cultivate our skills for enjoying life without harming ourselves or others, and can live an autonomous, creative and connected life. Complementary to our intellectual understanding, the experiential method of role play and theatre can powerfully facilitate the exploration of the inner drivers and hindrances of a thriving life.
