Abstract

In 1934, Jacob L. Moreno, M.D. published his ground-breaking book Who Shall Survive?Foundations of Sociometry, Group Psychotherapy, and Sociodrama.Dr. Moreno was a contemporary of Freud, Adler and Jung pioneering the study of social dynamics and the therapeutic power of “live and therapy in action.” Today, we have a challenge that few are prepared for. We are an extremely mobile civilization with interaction with others and environments that others contact. If one person touches the handle to enter a store, how many other people touch that handle? If you count the number of people one person is within two feet of in a 24-hour period, how many would that be? One of the saving graces of most infections is that there is a short incubation period.
